Gunfire and explosions reverberated through the heart of the Afghan capital Wednesday after three militants with AK-47s rifles and hand grenades overran a bank. Police stormed the building and killed the three insurgents, officials were quoted as saying by The Associated Press. The three armed men took over a branch of the Pashtani bank early Wednesday in a section of Kabul's old city. Police surrounded the building, exchanging gunfire with the attackers. The sound of scattered gunfire and small explosions reverberated through the city for several hours. Abdul Ghafar Sayedzada, head of Kabul's criminal investigations unit, said police eventually stormed the building and killed three «terrorists.»
