DHAKA: Bombs exploded in three cities in Afghanistan on Monday killing at least 10 policemen, officials said, a day after a Taliban suicide bomber blew himself in Kabul’s police headquarters killing one person.

The Taliban were ousted from power in 2001 by US-led forces and they have been fighting ever since to oust foreign troops and the US-backed government, even as most foreign forces are pulling out by the end of this year.

The militants claimed responsibility for two of the attacks, which killed the policemen, seven of them in the eastern province of Logar province when a suicide bomber blew himself up at the provincial police headquarters.

In Nangarhar province, also in the east, three policemen were killed in the city of Jalalabad by a bomb planted in a rickshaw, officials said, reports The Straits Times.
