The Afghan Interior Ministry says security forces have killed the last gunman involved in an attack in an upscale neighborhood that is home to many government facilities and the headquarters of many foreign organizations.

Interior Ministry spokesman Sediq Sediqqi said in a message posted on Twitter on September 6 that all three attackers who took hostages in a siege that lasted nearly 11 hours in the Shar-e Now (New City) neighborhood were now dead.

Earlier, Sediqqi said one civilian had been killed and six others wounded in the attack. The attack started with a suicide bombing around midnight on September 5. "Forty-two people including 10 foreigners have been rescued," Sediqqi said.

The charity Care International said that the armed group launched the attack on an Afghan government compound near to its Kabul office. It said all its staff members were evacuated, safe, and accounted for.

The three gunmen had reportedly barricaded themselves in close to an office of Care International.

Hate preacher Anjem Choudary has been sentenced to five-and-a-half years' imprisonment after being convicted of drumming up support for Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL).... At sentencing at the Old Bailey, Choudary and his co-defendant Mohammed Mizanur Rahman, who received the same sentence, were found guilty of inviting support for IS between June 29, 2014 and March 6, 2015 and remanded into custody.

During the trial, Justice Holroyde said the pair failed to condemn the barbaric acts of IS.

"You did nothing to condemn any aspect of what ISIS was doing at the time. In that way you indirectly encouraged violent terrorist activity.

"You are both mature men and intelligent men who knew throughout exactly what you were doing. You are both fluent and persuasive speakers."

He described Choudary as "calculating," while Rahman was simply a "hothead," albeit equally dangerous and remorseless.
