The second attack in a week on a government office in Kabul, the Afghan capital, occurred on Monday. Outside the traffic police compound a bomb was set off by a suicide bomber and then 3 others charged inside the building to attack. Part of the building caught on fire and around 10 people were wounded. The Taliban were responsible for this attack and similar attacks one of which occurred outside the national security office. In that attack around 30 were wounded. These attacks are common in Afghanistan and even heavily guarded government buildings are targeted. NATO and Afghan troops can respond now but by the end of 2014 NATO troops are moving out and the local forces will be left to combat the Taliban.
This article shortly summarized the events and then continued to its relevance. The author, Masoud Popalzai, made specific use of sound imagery, describing the gunfire echoing around the neighborhood. The author inserts no personal feelings about this event. Instead it is stated plainly and objectively which is best when concerning the war in Afghanistan It is often important for reporters to stay objective because people have many different opinions about these kinds of things and it is important just to state the facts not try to convince the person of one feeling or another
