Kabul: A brazen Taliban attack on Kabul airport ended on Thursday morning more than four hours after it began after all the insurgents involved were killed, officials said.
Gul Agha Hashimi, a senior police official, said: 'The attack is over, and the area is cleared from the insurgents. All the insurgents who were holed up in an under-construction building were killed.'
