The pre-dawn attack on the police post took place in a village in Maiwand district of Kandahar province, a stronghold of Taleban insurgents. Hours after the attack, a policeman was killed in a suicide raid aimed at a police officer in neighbouring Helmand province, a provincial official said. The officer survived the attack, but eight other people, including policemen and civilians, were wounded, witnesses said. |
