Madrid: A Spanish policeman was killed in an attack near the country's embassy in Kabul on Friday, Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy said in a statement on his party's Twitter account.
Rajoy had said earlier the policeman had been wounded in the attack and had been transferred to a nearby hospital.
The attack, which the Taliban said was targeted at a guest house attached to the embassy near a heavily protected area of the capital close to many foreign embassies and government buildings, wounded at least seven people.
