KABUL - Afghan forces battled for hours against Taliban insurgents who stormed a police headquarters in the northern city of Pul-e-Khumri, after a suicide bomber blew up his explosive-laden car, killing at least 13 people, officials said on Sunday.
“The complex attack on Baghlan police headquarters has ended with the death of all nine attackers, including the suicide bomber,” he said. Sunday’s raid was the latest in a series of high-profile attacks that have killed and wounded hundreds of civilians in Afghanistan this year and put heavy pressure on the Western-backed government of President Ashraf Ghani.The Taliban have stepped up attacks on security installations, even as they hold sixth rounds of direct talks with U.S. officials to end the war in Afghanistan.
Khalilzad’s comments came a day after Ghani said he was prepared to call an “immediate” and “permanent” ceasefire.
