[Quqnoos] Unidentified gunmen stormed a police station in the capital of eastern Paktia province on Monday, officials saidThe Northern Alliance managed to handle these goobers, once we started some arms and ammunition flowing to them. Maybe it's time to give the power back to them and let them clean house.
The Afghan Interior Ministry said the gunmen wearing suicide vests and carrying arms attacked the provincial police headquarters in Gardiz.
The militants seized a building near police headquarters and began firing at security forces as they surrounded the building, said Interior Ministry spokesman, Zemaray Bashari.
At least two militants were gunned down by the Afghan forces in the clash, Mr Bashari said. He didn't provide any further details and had no information about possible casualties.
The Afghan security forces have cordoned off the area.
