Last Call in Kabul

The Afghan capital's only bar has closed after warnings that it could be the target of a terror attack.

The Irish Club, which served only foreigners in a conservative country where sale of alcohol to the predominately Muslim population is banned, opened on March 17, St Patrick's Day. It did a roaring trade among expatriate aid workers, diplomats and journalists.

A sad, little obit for a pub so young.
