(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - In southern province of Uruzgan, a suicide bomber blew himself up inside a police station as officers ate lunch in a dining hall, killing 12 policemen.
"A suicide bomber detonated his explosives in a battalion station in Tirin Kot, the provincial capital," Abdullah Hemat, the Uruzgan governor's spokesman, told AFP.
"The bomber, who was on foot and wearing a suicide vest, blew himself up while the policemen were having lunch. As a result, 12 policemen were killed and five others wounded," he said.
The attack was the second suicide strike in Afghanistan on Friday after another bomber detonated himself at a border crossing with Pakistan, killing two people including a senior Afghan police commander.
The attacker had crossed from Pakistan to Spin Boldak on the Afghan side, Afghan officials said.
