ISAF # 01-166 ******* FM TF PALADIN DEVICE CONSTRUCTION AND METHOD OF OPERATION (S//REL) Construction of the IED consisted of three battery packs, one cassette player and approximately 300 meters of wire. The battery pack was likely connected to the transformer in the cassette player boosting the electrical charge in order to overcome the resistance of the 300 meter wire. The electrical wire connected to the main charge creating a command wire IED (CWIED). INVESTIGATOR''S COMMENTS (S//REL) CEXC BAF did not respond to this incident. There was no investigation of the scene all information in this report has been gleaned from limited discussion with TF GLADIUS. Further information should be sought from TF GLADIUS. *********"

"At 1345Z, the Kabul City Police reported that four men ran into the main entrance of the Serena Hotel in Kabul and opened fire with small arms. The men were armed with small arms and wore suicide vests. One of the insurgents detonated his suicide vest, killing himself. Five civilians were killed in the attack. These include three Afghans, one Norwegian, and one unknown. Eight individuals, one Norwegian and one from the United Arab Emirates, as well as six Afghans were wounded and evacuated by ground to the Czech Role 2 Hospital at Kabul International Airport. Approximately 26 Americans staying at the hotel were evacuated to the US Embassy by Embassy security personnel. The TF Gladius QRF deployed from Camp Eggers to provide additional security. Three of the attackers were killed in the attack. The disposition of the final gunman is unknown at this time. ISAF tracking # 01-268. ASSESSMENT: Historical reporting indicates that the Serena Hotel remains a primary target for the insurgency because it is known to be the hotel of choice for visiting western dignitaries. AQ along with HQN elements increased their focus on Kabul in 2007, and this complex SIED event coupled with the HQN claim of responsibility and indirect linkages back to Abu Layth make these two groups the most likely culprits."
