Afghan army races to parliament in wake of bombing

All six Taliban gunmen who attacked the Afghan parliament have been killed according to the interior ministry.

A car bomb was detonated outside the building in Kabul before attackers entered the parliament.

The Taliban say they carried out the attack to coincide with a vote to endorse a new defence minister, Massoom Stanekzai.

Harun Najafizada reports from Kabul, as army vehicles and the emergency services streak past on their way to the scene of the attack.
