The attack rattled Kabul's diplomatic district, as insurgents struck Afghanistan's largest military hospital, officials said. (Shah Marai/AFP/Getty Images)A military hospital became the latest target in the Afghan capital Wednesday morning, when a suicide bomber detonated at the front gates and gunmen opened fire on armed troops stationed inside the heavily fortified medical compound, killing at least four. At the police station, Taliban gunmen entered the building and fought with Afghan forces for hours before being killed. Emergency vehicles had difficulty reaching the hospital, but wailing ambulances could be heard all morning, while army and police helicopters criss-crossed the skies. Attacking a hospital is an attack against the entire people of Afghanistan and against all the women of Afghanistan,” he said.
