Officials say a group of suicide bombers have hit a training area for the new Afghan Local Police force in the country's east, killing two trainees and a policeman.

 

Azad Khan, the top local official in Jaji district of Paktia province, says four suicide bombers approached an area where about 50 men were being trained for the Afghan Local Police. It's a village-level force the US is developing to counter the Taliban insurgency. (AP)
