The Taliban has claimed responsibility for a suicide bomb attack on a luxury hotel in the Afghan capital Kabul. The Serena Hotel houses the Australian embassy, and Prime Minister Kevin Rudd says Canberra will urgently review security there. Four men have now been arrested in relation to the attack, which comes as the United States considers sending another 3,000 troops to Afghanistan.
