| Nine police have been killed by suspected Taliban fighters in southern Afghanistan, interior ministry sources say. The ministry said the officers were attacked at a police checkpoint in Nahri Sarraj district of Helmand province on Thursday. "Nine hero policemen were martyred in the cowardly attack by the enemies of Afghanistan," a ministry statement said. The phrase "enemies of Afghanistan" normally refers to Taliban fighters. The ministry said an operation had been launched to hunt down the attackers. Elsewhere in the south, police sources said Taliban fighters ambushed a police convoy carrying a Taliban detainee to the city of Ghazni, injuring seven policemen. The main police building in Lashkar Gah, the administrative capital of Helmand, was attacked earlier this month and at least 11 people were killed. |
