Kabul attack was on the pattern of 26/11

New Delhi, Feb 28 (PTI) The terror attack in Kabul was on
the pattern of the 26/11 Mumbai carnage, with six to eight
terrorists targeting two hotels and hunting for victims during
the strike in which six Indians were killed and 10 others
injured.

Investigators suspect involvement of the Taliban,
particularly the Haqqani group, in league with elements of
Lashkar-e Taiba in Friday's assault, sources said.
The attack was carried out in a coordinated manner with
the terrorists first exploding bombs and then launching the
armed assault, hunting for the targets, particularly the
members of the Indian medical mission, a pattern seen in
Mumbai during the 26/11 attack, they said.
About six to eight terrorists are suspected to have been
involved in the assault at around 6.30 am at the Park
Residence Hotel and adjacent Noor guest house, where Indians
on transit usually stay, the sources said.
Two or three of the attackers might have been killed in
the gunfight with Afghan security forces, they said.
Two Major-rank officers of the army were among the six
Indians killed and 10 others, including five army officers,
were injured in the assault. (MORE) PTI AKK
