Taliban attack Kabul poll office; 2 cops killed
Taliban militants staged a gun and suicide attack on an Afghan election commission office in Kabul yesterday, killing two police officers, with less than a fortnight to go before the presidential poll.
Five attackers were also killed.
The insurgents have vowed a campaign of violence to disrupt the ballot on April 5, urging their fighters to attack polling staff, voters and security forces in the runup to election day.
Afghan security forces battled attackers at the office of the Independent Election Commission (IEC) in the western Darulaman area of the Afghan capital for more than four hours.
