Taliban attack kills 11 Afghan cops
At least 11 policemen were killed and over 13 captured yesterday when Taliban fighters stormed their headquarters in northern Afghanistan, officials said. A column of more than 400 Taliban fighters on motorbikes attacked Shortepa district police headquarters in Balkh province in the early hours, triggering a lengthy gunfight, provincial spokesman Munir Farhad told AFP. The attack comes days after millions of Afghans went to the polls to vote for their next president.
