An attack by Taliban insurgents on the presidential palace in Kabul has ended with all attackers being killed. Police claimed all the assailants had been killed after a 90-minute gunfight. The attack began soon after 6.30am when at least one man opened fire with an automatic rifle at a gate to the palace in the central Shash Darak district. Reporters had been gathering at the palace for a press conference with President Hamid Karzai and took cover when the firing broke out. Officials said five assailants had been killed along with two Afghan guards. Report by Mark Morris. Subscribe to ITN News!
