Kabul, August 22: Taliban guerillas have killed two Afghan policemen in an attack on a police station in the eastern province of Nangarhar, an official says.
The attack took place Saturday after a man carrying explosives attached to his body, entered a police station in Jalalabad and opened fire on officers inside the building.
“Two policemen were killed and a third was wounded in the shooting,” Ahmad Zia, a spokesman for Nangarhar governor told Press TV’s correspondent, adding that the police managed to kill the assailant before he could detonate his explosives.
Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid, however, has rejected the report, saying that two of the group’s heavily-armed “suicide attackers” are still inside the police station, strongly resisting police.
