No members of Parliament reported injured but preliminary reports have 18 others hurt. Nobody aside from the six attackers were killed (all the attackers were).

A co-ordinated Taliban attack on the Afghan parliament in Kabul has ended with all six gunmen killed, the interior ministry says.

Attackers detonated a huge car bomb outside the gates, stormed the compound, then entered a building next to the chamber.

Police evacuated the premises, while trying to fight the gunmen off.

The Taliban say they carried out the attack to coincide with a vote to endorse a new defence minister.

The spokesman for the interior ministry, Sediq Seddiqi, said the gunmen had attempted to storm the parliament building itself after the gates were breached by the suicide bomb.

They were fought off and entered a building under construction next to parliament. MPs were showered with broken glass, and the chamber filled with smoke as the fighting went on. It took nearly an hour before all the firing stopped.

At least 18 people are reported to have been wounded. Mr Seddiqi said no MP had been injured.
Pictures on so

Susan Rice: Obama Will Not Send Letter of Apology to Afghanistan (http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/patrick-goodenough/susan-rice-obama-will-not-send-letter-apology-afghanistan)

By Patrick Goodenough | November 20, 2013 | 4:53 AM EST

President Obama will not make a written apology to the Afghan people for “mistakes” made during the war in their country, National Security Adviser Susan Rice said Tuesday.

Reports to that effect reflected “a complete misunderstanding of what the situation is,” she told CNN’s “The Situation Room” Tuesday afternoon.
“No such letter has been drafted or delivered,” Rice said. “There is not a need for the United States to apologize to Afghanistan – quite the contrary. We have sacrificed and supported them in their democratic progress and in tackling the insurgency and al-Qaeda.”
On the same day, the Associated Press reported that Secretary of State John Kerry, in a phone call, acknowledged “mistakes” and asked Afghan President Hamid Karzai to allow American troops on counter-terrorism missions to enter Afghan homes in “exceptional circumstances.”

The two countries are trying to finalize the wording of a draft security agreement that will allow U.S. troops to remain in the country after 2014.

..According to Afghan and foreign press reports, Faizi said Kerry told Karzai that Obama would write a letter to the Afghan people acknowledging “mistakes.”
“The whole idea of having a letter was to acknowledge the suffering of the Afghan people and the mistakes of the past,” Reuters quoted Faizi as saying. “That was the only thing that satisfied the president.”

Afghanistan’s independent Pajhwok news agency reported that according to Faizi, Kerry said Obama “was willing to hold out a written guarantee to the Afghan government that U.S. soldiers would not repeat past mistakes.”
“Obama’s letter, agreed by both sides, would be attached to the BSA text and placed before jirga participants for a decision, Faizi said, adding Kerry had acknowledged American forces’ repeated mistakes in past offensives,” Pajhwok added.

The loya jirga, a council of more than 2,500 people, will consider the BSA, a document governing the continuing presence of American troops in Afghanistan after the scheduled withdrawal of NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) troops at the end of 2014.
