A spokesman for the Taliban movement claimed responsibility for the attack on
a “military base”, saying Mr Obama was “not welcome” in Afghanistan.
The high security Green Village compound, around three miles east of the city
centre on the Jalalabad Road, provides housing for hundreds of contractors
and foreign officials.
Reports said the attackers had failed to breach the inner defences, but had
managed to take an outer laundry building before they were surrounded and
killed by Afghan special forces and their Norwegian counterparts.

Gen Carsten Jacobson, spokesman for the Nato-led coalition said: “This is
another desperate attack by the Taliban, but again another noteworthy
performance by Afghan Security Forces for taking the lead in putting down
another desperate attack by insurgents.” Mark Sedwill, Britain’s special
envoy to Afghanistan and Pakistan, added: “Another Taliban attack today. As
always, they kill Afghan civilians not foreign troops.” Mr Obama had used
his visit to deliver a campaign-style speech to Americans declaring that the
decade-long Afghan military intervention was winding down and a new chapter
of relations was beginning.
He said that “the light of a new day on the horizon” was in America’s sights
after a decade of war, as he capitalised on the anniversary of Osama bin
Laden’s death with his surprise visit to Afghanistan.
Amid sharp domestic criticism over his exploitation of the al-Qaeda chief’s
assassination for political gain, Mr Obama gave a defiant speech at Bagram
Air Base in which he declared it was “time to renew America”.
Under the strategic partnership agreement, America has pledged to train and
support Afghanistan’s forces and continue giving economic aid to the country
until at least 2024.
Details of how many American troops will remain and which Afghan military
bases they will use will be finalised in a separate deal next year.
