KABUL, Afghanistan A suicide bomber and extremists armed with assault rifles and explosives attacked a government building in the Afghan capital in an eight-hour-long siege that left 29 people dead and more than 20 wounded, authorities said. It ended when the three gunmen were killed.
The toll could rise as police continue to search the smoldering building, Interior Ministry spokesman Najib Danish said.
The attack began when the suicide bomber blew up his explosives-laden car in front of the multi-story building that houses a public welfare department in an eastern neighborhood of Kabul, Danish said. Minutes later, three gunmen entered the building and rampaged through the office complex hunting for victims. Some employees managed to barricade themselves inside offices while police quickly evacuated 357 people, officials said.
Witnesses reported hearing at least five explosions as police and gunmen traded fire. One officer died and three were wounded.

(9,248 posts)I 'member when told Greta V he had a secret plan to defeat islamic radicals, and he wasn't going to tell anyone it:
"And Im not gonna tell you what it is tonight."
Host Greta Van Susteren immediately asked, "Why wont you tell? We need all the help we can get."
"I dont want the enemy to know what Im doing," Trump replied. "Unfortunately, Ill probably have to tell at some point, but there is a method of defeating them quickly and effectively and having total victory."
Trump criticized President Barack Obama for going "on television to explain exactly when we're going to attack a certain city, what we're going to do, what hour we're going to be using for the attack, how many are going."
He said Gens. Douglas MacArthur and George Patton are "spinning in their grave" over how the United States gives all the details of its military operations upfront.
I don't want the enemy to know what I'm going to do," Trump said.
But now he's telling the radicals in Syria and Afghanistan he's pulling our people out.
