Embassys siege cited as propaganda win by insurgents
In Kabul on Wednesday US officials attributed Tuesday’s high rise seizure near the embassy and NATO HQ to a Pakistan based Haqqani allied group. The assault caused 16 Afghan deaths, including children, while all attackers perished. Despite the victory for insurgents, officials downplay military impact and stress ongoing Afghan security gaps and Haqqani links to Taliban and al Qaida.
