OFFICIALS say attacks in northern Afghanistan have killed at least 11 police officers and a government official whose car was hit by a remote-controlled bomb.
Police official Abdul Rahman Aqtash said Sunday that militants attacked a checkpoint overnight in Kunduz province near Tajikistan, killing six border police. He said the death toll could rise.
The Ministry of Interior says militants also killed a district chief in Kunduz by remotely detonating a roadside bomb as his car passed.
The ministry says five more police were killed by a roadside bomb in northeastern Badakshan province.
Northern Afghanistan was once relatively calm, but Taliban and other militants have become increasingly active in the past two years.
