(AP) A hospital says a Norwegian man who was injured in the Taliban attack at the Intercontinental Hotel in Kabul, Afghanistan, in which 22 people died, was seriously injured but is in stable condition.
The Haukeland university hospital in Bergen on Thursday briefly confirmed the condition of the 59-year-old patient, who was flown to Norway a day earlier.
The hospital did not identify the patient, but a Norwegian medical development research institute has said its assistant manager, Arne Strand, was at the hotel Saturday when the 13-hour siege took place in the Afghan capital.
CMI, an independent development research institute, said Strand had been brought to safety immediately and Norwegian news agency said CMI manager Ottar Maestad said Wednesday the condition of Strand had improved. Strand's family declined comment.
