In January this year, a Greek pilot called Vasileios Vasileiou checked into the Intercontinental Hotel in Kabul. The hotel was popular with international visitors - and the Taliban knew that.

Vasileios was in his room and he hid in a bed frame to survive, while Taliban fighters operated from his room.
