Taliban claim responsibility for Kabul attacks

There was carnage on the streets of Kabul today as the Taliban unleashed a 'spring offensive' that saw the foreign embassies targeted in attacks that left at least two people dead.

The British Embassy was one of several buildings that were bombarded by rocket-propelled grenades in coordinated attacks across the capital of Afghanistan.

The American Embassy was placed on lockdown as the blasts erupted in the central neighborhood of Wazir Akbar Khan.

At least seven sites across the Afghan capital were targeted including NATO headquarters, the parliament and diplomatic residences. Militants also launched near-simultaneous assaults in three other eastern cities.
