An Afghan policeman assists a wounded U.N. worker in Kabul in this October 28, 2009 frame grab. At least three U.N. staff were killed when Taliban militants attacked an international guest house in the Afghan capital Kabul on Wednesday, U.N. personnel at the scene said. An increasingly resurgent Taliban have vowed to stage attacks ahead of a second-round run-off in Afghanistan's presidential election on November 7. Police had earlier said the militants held four foreigners hostage, while a U.N. spokesman said several of the world body's staff had been wounded. Afghan forces were exchanging gunfire with the militants, who were inside an international guest house, police said. QUALITY FROM SOURCE REUTERS/via REUTERS TV (AFGHANISTAN CONFLICT POLITICS)
