Kabul presents easy target for Taliban

Today's attacks at the heart of Kabul were the biggest and most complex ­assault on the Afghan capital since the fall of the Taliban in 2001. But although the scale was more ambitious than previous attacks, the style was familiar. The attacks on ­government buildings less than a year ago now look like a smaller dress rehearsal, involving, as they did, eight Taliban fighters and three main targets.
