From Wall Street Journal reporters in Kabul:

A number of suicide bombers took over a building under construction near the airport, and were launching rocket-propelled grenades from it, Kabul police spokesman Heshmat Stanekzai said. A coalition spokesperson also confirmed an attack was under way.

Initial details on casualties were sketchy, but ambulance sirens raced through Kabul's deserted streets as the loudspeakers at the coalition's main headquarters, heard through much of central Kabul, urged everyone to take cover.

The northern side of the Kabul airport houses a sprawling coalition military base that's home to the coalition's Joint Command, the war's operational headquarters. Officers reached at the command said the fighting was ongoing and that they were posting troops on rooftops.

"And then this limey is all, 'you're getting bugged, chap', and I was THIS close to telling him I didn't mind, right...? Then he spouted off about some attack in a place called Cable, or Kabul, or something....He was almost as annoying as this one GIFT-SHOP CLERK guy I'll tell you about in our break-out session, later on..."
