Afghan Police Ambush

Nine Afghan policemen were killed and six wounded in the eastern city of Ghazni after Taliban fighters stormed their checkpoints. The assault began early Friday when the Taliban attacked two adjacent checkpoints. They then ambushed a group of police rushing to the scene, killing the local police head, Ghazni police spokesman Ahmad Khan Seerat said.

At least 22 police officers were killed in a Taliban ambush in western Afghanistan, a health official said today, in another blow to Afghan forces already suffering record casualties.

At least 20 Afghan policemen were killed in Taliban ambushes in south central Afghanistan. The Taliban had ambushed policemen in the areas of Chino and Ghulam Rabat in Afghanistan.

A black US military veteran of the Afghan war who said he wanted to "kill white people" apparently acted alone in a sniper attack that killed five police officers at a protest in Dallas decrying police shootings of black men, officials said on Friday.
