KABUL — Survivors of the Taliban attack on Kabul's Intercontinental Hotel are recounting the ordeal of the deadly, 13-hours-long standoff that claimed 22 lives, including 14 foreigners. Mohammad Humayun Shams, telecommunications director of eastern Laghman province who was visiting Kabul and staying at the hotel, says he was able to escape by jumping into a tree form a hotel window as the attackers roamed the hallways, killing people. Shams says that it was the worst night of my life. He says that as he ran he didn't know who were the police and who were the Taliban — they all had same uniforms. More than 150 people were rescued or managed to escape, including 41 foreigners. Eleven of the 14 foreigners killed were pilots and employees of KamAir, a private Afghan airline. Authorities warned they were still investigating how militants breached security, which was taken over by a private company three weeks ago, at the landmark hotel late Saturday. The attack ended after more than 12 hours Sunday with all six militants killed by Afghan forces, aided by Norwegian troops. Afghan health ministry spokesman Waheed Majroh said 22 bodies had now been taken to Kabul hospitals. Some of the bodies (are) burned badly and need DNA tests to be identified, he said. Six Ukrainians were among those killed in the assault, the country's foreign ministry has confirmed. Earlier, Afghan officials had put the toll at 18 dead, 14 of them foreigners. Authorities are known to understate death tolls in high-profile attacks. A hotel employee told AFP that he saw two fashionably dressed gunmen in the hotel restaurant before the assault began. It was around 8.30 pm... They were sitting in the corner of the hotel, and they immediately started spraying bullets, the 20-year-old employee, who gave his name as Hasibullah, told AFP from his hospital bed. He ran to a fifth floor room and locked himself inside, though not before seeing many bodies on the ground. The gunmen went from door to door opening them with daggers and shooting everyone. They were searching for foreigners, Hasibullah said, though Afghans were not spared. They were saying kill the foreigners, he told AFP. In terror he leapt from a window. I fell on people lying in blood... it was horrific. Knocked unconscious, he awoke in hospital with a broken leg and other wounds. We believe they were inside from before, he said of the attackers. — Agencies
