Kabul, December 01: A bomb attack has killed at least three Afghan policemen and wounded four others in the country’s northern Baghlan province, police say.
The incident occurred on Thursday when a bomb hit police vehicles in the Nawrozak area of Baghlan province, 160 km north of capital city of Kabul.
No group has yet claimed responsibility for the attack, Xinhua reported.
Violence continues across Afghanistan despite the presence of nearly 150,000 US-led foreign troops there.
A United Nations report on Afghanistan issued on September 28 said that the monthly average number of security incidents recorded for the year through the end of August climbed by nearly 40 percent.
The report also stated that civilian casualties, already at record levels in the first six months of the year, rose five percent between June and August 2011, compared with the identical period in 2010.
