Deadly attacks have taken place at the same academy more than once in the past.In August 2014, U.S. Army Major General Harold Greene was shot and killed in an attack claimed by the Taliban.

过去曾多次在同所学院发生致命攻击。 2014年8月,美军少将哈罗德.格林在塔利班的袭击中被枪杀身亡。

President Ashraf Ghani denounced the attack.He said the “Taliban must choose between Islam and terrorism.”He spoke2 at a press conference with visiting Indonesian President Joko Widodo.The Indonesian president had just visited Pakistan where he proposed the creation of an Islamic committee for the peaceful settlement of the Afghan conflict.

The head of Afghanistan’s intelligence service, MasoomStanekzai, said five suspects have been arrested in connection with the hotel attack while one suspect had fled the country. He said four others have been arrested in the ambulance bombing case.

阿富汗情报部门负责人马苏姆.斯坦尼克斯表示,有五名嫌疑人因涉嫌袭击酒店而被捕,另外一名嫌犯逃离该国。他说另有四人在救护车爆炸案中被捕。

The recent attacks show security is still a concern in Afghanistan more than 16 years after the U.S.-led military action overthrew5 the Taliban.
