Afghan journalists take cover behind an ambulance near the Intercontinental Hotel during a fight between gunmen and Afghan security forces in Kabul on January 21, 2018. Gunmen stormed a luxury hotel in Kabul killing at least six people, including a foreigner, sparking a twelve hour fight with security forces that left terrified guests scrambling to escape and parts of the building ablaze. Afghan security forces killed four attackers during the night-time siege, interior ministry spokesman Najib Danish told Tolo News, during which people trapped inside the landmark hotel were seen climbing over balconies to escape.

Militants abducted and killed three foreign nationals working for an international food company in the Afghan capital, Kabul, on Thursday, security officials and a diplomat said.
A senior diplomat in Kabul said the three worked for the world's second-largest food and catering services company, Sodexo.
"An Indian, a Malaysian and a Macedonian citizen were abducted and killed. We have found their bodies," Hashmat Stanekzai, spokesman for Kabul's police chief, told Reuters.
An Afghan security official said they found identity cards next to the bodies and were seeking confirmation from the company.
Officals at Sodexo in Afghanistan were not immediately available for comment.
