The Intercontinental Hotel in Kabul, Afghanistan, is a heavily guarded five-star establishment that often hosts VIP guests — but on the night of June 28, 2011, nine assailants, strapped with bombs, rifles, and rocket-propelled grenades, were able to breach its tight security and engage the Afghan military and NATO forces in a nearly six-hour battle. At the end of the attack, for which the Taliban has claimed responsibility, at least 21 people were dead.
