Kabul, Rabi'I 23, 1438, December 22, 2016, SPA -- Eight people, including two children, were killed in a siege which lasted more than six hours at the Kabul home of Afghan parliamentarian Mir Wali, an official said Thursday. The siege, which began when three Taliban militants stormed Wali's house, ended when the assailants were killed by members of the Police Crisis Response Unit. "Two of Mir Wali's grandchildren, his nephew and the son of a public representative from southern Oruzgan province, are among those killed," said Faraidon Obaidi, head of Kabul Police Criminal Investigation Department. Two of Wali's bodyguards and two guests were also among the dead, police spokesman Basir Mujahid told dpa. Six others, including the parliamentarian's wife, were wounded, Obaidi said. --SPA 11:59 LOCAL TIME 08:59 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w296132
