The Taliban stormed this UN guesthouse (Bekhtar Guest House) killing 12 people, 8 of them UN workers on the 28 October 2009. The UN announced that they are to pull out 600 workers following the attack. Kabul, Afghanistan. 8/11/2009. Burnt out literature can be seen in the remains of the building as well as a copy of Barack Obama's autobiography. The militants were wearing Afghan police attire which police state can be bought openly in some bazaars as well as other police equipment such as sirens and plastic ‘police’ sign covers intended for police cars. The attack on the UN guest house in Shar-e-now (New City), Kabul, was a bold attack which has now resolved in the UN announcing that they will pull out 600 staff from Afghanistan. This was a U-turn from the chief of the United Nations mission in Afghanistan, Kai Eide pledging that it 'will not deter the U.N. from continuing all its work' in the country,” (28 October, 2009.) The gunmen attacked with Kalashnikov's and grenades. Burnt out literature can be seen in the remains of the building as well as a copy of Barack Obama's autobiography. Also pictured is the card of 40 year old Jossie Garbo Esto, a filipino national, who worked in the finance project helping with the Afghan elections. President of the Philippines, Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo has called for the return of his corpse. “We are in touch with the Afghan government which we have very good relations with. (We thus expect) they (Afghan officials) will do everything to ensure the safety of Filipinos in the area,” Remonde said.
