Afghan President Hamid Karzai said a "failure" by intelligence services, including Nato, was partly to blame for the weekend's Taliban attacks on Kabul.
The Afghan President Hamid Karzai has strongly condemned Sunday's attacks in Kabul and three other regions of Afghanistan.
He added that the response showed that Afghan security forces are capable of defending their country, although he said it was a "failure" by intelligence services, especially Nato.
An 18-hour Taliban attack on the Afghan capital Kabul ended early this morning as insurgents were overcome by heavy gunfire.
Several explosions and gunfire have rocked Kabul in Afghanistan in coordinated attacks across several areas of the city centre.
