Two suicide bombers wearing police uniforms have blown themselves up at an
Afghan police headquarters in the east of the country, killing at least 12
officers and wounding another 16.
Nawab Waziry, the head of Paktika's provincial council, said the bombers passed
through three security gates unhindered before reaching the main building of
the police compound.
One detonated the explosives he was wearing inside the building, while the
other blew himself up near its entrance, he said.
"The site was covered with blood," Waziry told The Associated Press news agency.
The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attacks in a message emailed to the
media.
Paktika is one of the most violent areas in Afghanistan. It is south of Kabul
and borders the Pakistani region of North Waziristan - long a refuge for the
Taliban and allied groups.
Nato and Afghan forces face daily violence against the Haqqani group, a
Pakistan-based ally of the Taliban, which operates in the area.
In a separate incident, Nato-led forces came under attack near a compound in
the district of Sherzad in Nangarhar province. Nato responded with air raids
and the attackers were killed in the battle that ensued. There were no
casualties on the Nato side.
