KABUL: Two police officers were killed in an attack launched by Afghan insurgents at an office of the Independent Election Commission (IEC) in the western Darulaman area of Kabul on Tuesday.

“At around 11:35 am (0705 GMT) a suicide bomber blew himself up at the gate of an IEC regional office in Darulaman, and then several other attackers entered the building,” a foreign news agency quoted Kabul police spokesman Hashmat Estanakzai as saying.

The interior ministry spokesman Sediq Sediqqi said that two police officers were killed in the fighting along with five attackers who entered the IEC building.

The Afghan Taliban have vowed a campaign of violence to disrupt the April 5 presidential election, urging their fighters to attack polling staff, voters and security forces in the runup to election day.
