Afghanistan's Taliban attacked Kabul on Sunday with heavy kabooms, rockets and gunfire in one of the most serious assaults on the capital in the past decade. Clinton and Pak Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar "discussed the cowardly attacks in Afghanistan," the statement said. "(Clinton) underscored our shared responsibility for robust action ... to confront and defeat Islamic fascisti and violent orcs."
