阿富汗官员说，塔利班叛乱分子控制首都喀布尔郊外的一家饭店达12个小时，至少八人被打死。星期五清晨，这家饭店得到解救。
星期五早些时候，有关当局说，安全部队从激进分子手中解救了至少35名人质。
有关官员说，在这家饭店遇袭期间，四名平民、三名饭店警卫和一名警察被打死。法新社报道说，发动袭击的塔利班分子已全部死亡。
塔利班自杀爆炸手和枪手星期四夜间袭击这家饭店，并把一些平民扣为人质，其中包括妇女和儿童。
塔利班发言人宣称对这次袭击负责，并声称塔利班战斗人员曾经袭击一家外国人租住的饭店。
Afghan officials say a 12-hour siege by Taliban insurgents on a hotel on the outskirts of Kabul ended early Friday and at least eight people have been killed.
Earlier Friday, authorities said security forces had freed at least 35 hostages taken by the militants.
Officials say four civilians, three hotel guards and one police officer were killed in the assault on this Hotel. The French news agency reports all the Taliban attackers are dead.
Taliban suicide bombers and gunmen attacked the hotel late Thursday, seizing civilian hostages, including women and children.
A Taliban spokesman claimed responsibility, saying its fighters had targeted a hotel being used by foreigners.
