Afghan gunfight: Kabul police battle insurgents Dramatic Nato footage shows sustained gunfire as tr
Police are still exchanging fire with at least one gunman holed up in an unfinished high-rise building overlooking the diplomatic quarter.

Six people have been killed and 16 injured, Kabul's police chief said.

The Taliban said they were behind the violence.

At least one attacker remains on one of the upper floors of the building, says the BBC's Quentin Sommerville, in Kabul.

Afghan intelligence officials are already going through the lower floors, gathering evidence about the way the attack was planned and carried out.

1. Get the feeling that the nation of Kabul is slipping away?
Shades of the USSR occupation?
