The Taliban on Sunday claimed responsibility for storming a luxury hotel in Kabul and killing at least six people in a 12-hour overnight siege.

The attack at the Intercontinental Hotel in the Afghan capital "killed tens of foreign invaders and their puppets", spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid said in an emailed message.

Officials have said one foreigner was among the six killed.
