Afghan police: Policeman killed in suicide attack

KABUL — Afghan police say a member of the Afghan National Police has been killed and two others wounded in a suicide attack at a police station in south-central Afghanistan.

Uruzgan provincial police chief Juma Gul Hamit says a suicide bomber detonated his cache of explosives Monday evening near the gate of a police chief’s office in Dihrawud district.

Hamit says the attacker tried to enter the office where a meeting was under way. Although wounded by police, the bomber detonated his explosive vest, killing the one policeman and injuring the two others who kept him from going inside.
