KABUL Gunmen set off an explosion Tuesday at the entrance of one of Kabul’s busiest hospitals before storming the building, which includes a maternity ward, killing 13, including two newborns.
The attackers battled for hours with Afghan security forces. According to the interior minister, the rest of those slain were nurses and mothers. Some 15 others were injured. The hospital is one of the busiest in western Kabul and houses a maternity ward run by Doctors Without Borders.
