The four men sat down for dinner, ordered juice and then excused themselves to the bathroom. There, they extracted tiny pistols from the soles of their shoes, and, after returning to the restaurant of Kabul's most luxurious hotel, started shooting patrons point-blank.
The first target was the Afghan family of Sardar Ahmad, a 40-year-old Afghan journalist with Agence France-Presse, the government said. The gunmen shot dead Mr. Ahmad, his wife, his 5-year-old daughter Nilofar and 3-year-old son Omar. His youngest son Abuzar, not even two, is in coma with bullets in his head.
Then, the gunmen shot other prominent Afghans and foreign officials who had gathered on Thursday night for a festive dinner at the Serena Hotel here. Soon after, at least nine guests—including a U.S. citizen, two Canadians and a Paraguayan election observer—and the four attackers were dead and several injured. Even by the grim standards of the Afghan war, the Serena bloodbath was shocking.
