Gunmen stormed a guesthouse in Afghanistan during a party for foreigners, killing five, including an American citizen. Another five people were wounded.

Kabul Police Chief Abdul Rahman said gunmen opened fire at the Park Palace Hotel at 8:30 in the evening. The siege ended five hours later when police killed three assailants and rescued dozens of foreigners.

The U. S. Embassy in Afghanistan confirmed one American citizen was killed but did not release that person's name.

No one claimed responsibility for the attack, though the Taliban have attacked guesthouses in Kabul in the past.
