News Afghanistan Badghis: Afghan official says Taliban attack kills 7 policemen
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — A Taliban attack on a security outpost early Thursday set off an hours-long gunbattle that killed seven policemen in central Ghazni province, said Arif Noor, the provincial governor's spokesman. Two policemen were also wounded in the fighting in Waghaz district of Ghazni province, a region heavily controlled by the Taliban, who later claimed responsibility for the attack.

Speaking with The Associated Press by phone, a Taliban spokesman said he had no...
