United Nations special envoy to Afghanistan Kai Eide speaks at a news conference as he condemns the attack on an international guest-house in Kabul October 28, 2009. Six U.N. foreign staff were killed when Taliban militants attacked an international guest-house in Kabul on Wednesday, while rockets were fired at a foreign-owned hotel in the Afghan capital, forcing 100 guests into a bunker. An increasingly resurgent Taliban have vowed to stage attacks ahead of a run-off in Afghanistan's presidential election on November 7 and the apparently coordinated assault on Wednesday will raise questions about security for the vote.REUTERS/Ahmad Masood (AFGHANISTAN CONFLICT POLITICS)
