AT least one policeman was killed when Taliban militants detonated a car bomb at the gates of the Kabul traffic police headquarters and stormed the compound, starting a six-hour gun battle with security forces, authorities said.
The raid began just before dawn when a suicide bomber blew up his car at the gate of the traffic police department building, police said. They added that two or three attackers "armed with suicide vests and heavy and light weapons entered the compound".
