Afghanistan: dozens killed in attack on Kabul Sikh temple

Isis gunmen held hostages for hours while Afghan special forces tried to end siege

Gunmen and suicide bombers have killed at least 25 worshippers, including women and children, and injured many others in an early morning attack on a Sikh Gurdwara in the heart of Kabul.

The attack lasted hours as the gunmen held hostages on Wednesday while Afghan special forces and international troops tried to end the siege in a complex that is home to many families, as well as a place of worship.
