Latest figures include 12 US servicemen killed and 15 injured. Many civilian casualties.
Two suicide bombers, one at the US Abbey gate, the other by the Baron hotel used by British forces. Gunmen opened up after the bombs detonated.
No indication as to why the US forces suffered such heavy casualties whilst the British troops seem, thankfully, to have escaped unscathed.
Boris has stated that UK evacuation operations are continuing as planned.
US commanding general, McKenzie, says that attacks were expected - and that more are expected to continue during the next few days.
He also, interestingly, stated that combat operations have not ceased in Afghanistan and the attackers will continue to be sought - and will be attacked as and when located.
