Taliban kill at least six Afghan police in Humvee suicide attack

A suicide bomber drove an explosives-packed Humvee into a police compound in Afghanistan Friday, killing at least six officers and destroying a building, officials said. The Taliban claimed responsibility for the pre-dawn attack on the Maiwand district police headquarters in the southern province of Kandahar, the latest deadly assault by the insurgents, who have been increasingly targeting security installations. The vehicle was carrying an estimated 3,000 kilogrammes (6,600 pounds) of explosives, Maiwand district police chief Sultan Mohammad told AFP.
