Taliban suicide attackers assault Afghan police station
Taliban suicide attackers assaulted an Afghan police station Tuesday, killing one officer as a separate roadside bombing targeted a prominent female politician in the country's east, authorities said.
The attack on a police headquarters in Afghanistan's northern Kunduz province saw insurgents first detonate a suicide car bomb followed by a suicide bomber on foot, Interior Ministry spokesman Sediq Sediqqi said. Three more gunmen attacked following the bombings and died in a shootout with police, Sediqqi said.
A statement from President Ashraf Ghani condemned the attack, saying it killed one police officer.
Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid claimed the attack in a message on Twitter.
