Six killed in Afghanistan
KABUL, Nov 17: Taliban gunmen raided a police post near a hydro-power dam in Afghanistan and killed six policemen, a provincial official said on Wednesday.
The Kajaki Dam, which supplies power to southern Afghanistan's main city, Kandahar, was not damaged in the late-night attack, said Haji Mohammad Wali, spokesman for the governor of Helmand province, where the dam is located.
One Taliban fighter was killed and two wounded when police returned fire, he said. "We have the body of the Taliban fighter," Wali said. -Reuters
