2 Afghan policeman killed in Taliban attack
Afghan authorities say Taliban fighters attacked security checkpoints in
a northern provincial capital, killing two members of a community-based
security force. The officials claim 18 attackers died in the assault.
Sayed Sarwar Hussaini, spokesman for Kunduz provincial police, said on
Saturday that the initial Taliban attack on Friday in the provincial
capital of the same name killed one member of the Afghan local police
and wounded two.
NATO formally handed over control of Afghanistan’s security entirely to
local forces on Tuesday. The transition comes as violence reaches levels
matching the worst in 12 years.
