KABUL (AFP) – Afghan police were locked in a stand-off with a "group of terrorists" holed up in an apartment building in central Kabul on Wednesday, a police officer at the scene said.
The police officer told AFP that one of the group detonated an explosives vest before the rest of the group fled into the apartment building in a crowded neighbourhood near Kabul's Chicken Street.
"We don't know how many of them there are," he said.
An AFP reporter and photographer saw a number of wounded being taken from the area to a local hospital, including at least two foreigners.
