                  Burqa Wearing Militants Attack Afghan Police

   Afghan officials say militants disguised as women have attacked a
   police compound near Kabul, killing one police officer and wounding at
   least three other officers.
   Authorities say a suicide car bomber blew the gates open at police
   headquarters Friday morning in Sarobi, about 48 kilometers east of
   Kabul.
   Police say male attackers dressed in the all-encompassing burqa,
   traditionally worn by Afghan women, then opened fire and a gun battle
   ensued inside the compound.
   Police say all the attackers were killed.
   The Taliban has claimed responsibility for the attack.
   Afghan insurgents have increased attacks in recent months, intensifying
   a campaign to regain territory as foreign forces draw down ahead of a
   full withdrawal at the end of 2014.
   The Taliban has also vowed to disrupt the country`s April 5 election to
   select a successor to President Hamid Karzai.
