None
KABUL -- An Afghan official says that at least one police officer has been killed after a group of attackers stormed the main police headquarters in eastern Paktia province.
Najib Danish, deputy spokesman for the Interior Ministry, says a suicide car bomber first detonated his vehicle at the entrance and opened the way for other attackers to enter the compound.
He says two of the attackers were shot by security forces and probably one more attacker is still resisting.
He says three policemen have been wounded in the attack, which took place Sunday in Gardez, the provincial capital.
