Afghan police killed in attack
Suspected Taliban fighters raid home, killing four police officers.
The ministry blamed the attack on the “opposition,” a reference to the Taliban and other fighters trying to destabilise the government.
Fighters continue to target the police, who are seen as weaker than the Afghan army and international troops stationed in the country.
