                    Taliban Kills 11 in Afghan Police Attack

   by VOA News

   Taliban fighters have attacked a police station in eastern Afghanistan,
   killing 11 people, including 10 policemen.
   The assault early Thursday happened in Jalalabad near the provincial
   governor's house, and comes two weeks before Afghanistan holds its
   presidential election.
   Officials said the attack began with a suicide bombing outside the
   station and continued for several hours as Afghan security forces
   battled Taliban gunmen.
   Deputy Interior Minister Mohammed Ayub Solangi said it ended with all
   seven gunmen dead.
   A Taliban spokesman claimed responsibility for the attack.
