An Afghan security personnel stands guard in front of the burnt building of an international guest-house in Kabul after an attack by Taliban militants October 28, 2009. Taliban militants killed six U.N. foreign staff in an assault on an international guest-house in Kabul on Wednesday, raising questions about security for a presidential election run-off due in less than two weeks. Rockets were also fired at a foreign-owned hotel in the Afghan capital, forcing 100 guests into a bunker. REUTERS/Ahmad Masood (AFGHANISTAN CONFLICT POLITICS IMAGES OF THE DAY)
