Multiple American citizens were killed and injured in the Taleban’s weekend attack on the Interconti­nental Hotel in Afghanista­n.

The State Department said the United States was sending “deepest condolence­s” to the families and friends of those killed in the Kabul attack.

The Americans were among 22 people killed in the Afghan capital. An Afghan interior ministry official had said 14 were foreigners and eight were Afghans. More than 150 people were rescued or escaped.

The 13-hour weekend siege started Saturday.
