Taliban Attacks Kill 6 Afghan Security Men

Four policemen were killed and seven others wounded in double-suicide attacks on their checkpoint outside a security forces station in the southern Helmand province, said provincial police chief in Helmand, General Abdul Rahman Sarjang.

He further added that five insurgents equipped with suicide vests were shot and killed by security forces.
For his part, Mohammad Rasoul Zazi, an army spokesman in Helmand, said one soldier was killed and another was wounded in the attack.

Meanwhile, another policeman was killed and four others wounded when their vehicle was hit by a roadside bomb in the southern Uruzgan province, according to the district administration chief Rahimullah Khaliqi.

Relatively, the Taliban terrorist group claimed responsibility for the attacks in Helmand and Uruzgan. The Taliban have stepped up attacks on Afghan security forces in the past year, waging offensives across the country.

Also Saturday, the Afghan power company said it repaired some power supply cables from Tajikistan that were damaged during fights between Afghan security forces and insurgents.
