The Taliban militant group has killed at least 10 policemen amid violent clashes in the central Afghan province of Wardak.

Officials said on Sunday that fighting continued in Wardak a day after Taliban fighters blew up bridges and took over control of arterial highways.

The Taliban terrorists set fire to a government building in Wardak’s Sayeed Abad district and killed the district’s police chief along with nine other policemen on Saturday night, a senior police official said.

Repeated assaults on strategically important provinces, such as Wardak and the nearby Ghazni, underscore how volatile security remains in Afghanistan two weeks before nationwide parliamentary elections.
