Smoke rises from the Intercontinental Hotel during an attack in Kabul, Afghanistan January 21, 2018. Gunmen stormed a luxury hotel in Kabul and killed at least six people including a foreigner, sparking a 12- hour battle that left terrified guests scrambling to escape and parts of the building ablaze. The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack on the six- storey Intercontinental Hotel on a hilltop overlooking the Afghan capital. People trapped at the top of the building tied bedsheets together and climbed over balconies to escape the overnight assault. (Photo by Mohammad Ismail/Reuters)
