This crazy Kabul video shows attacks that happened a year ago to date on the embassy and the International Security Assistance Forces headquarters.
Here we see Marines, airmen, sailors, and Afghan security forces attempting to repel an enemy assault. They even call for air support.
Kabul is generally a secure area. I've been there as an embedded reporter, and it was incredibly safe, even for a westerner.
It seems like attacks on American buildings at this time of year are not all that uncommon, though this year has reached unprecedented levels.
