Afghan security forces raided the Kabul hideout of insurgents with suspected links to the weekend attack on President Hamid Karzai, sparking a clash that left at least seven people dead Wednesday, officials said. An Associated Press reporter at the scene said the two sides traded rocket-propelled grenade and automatic gunfire for several hours before the clash in the capital ended by midmorning. Interior Ministry spokesman Zemerai Bashary described the suspects as «terrorists.»
