At least six police were killed and dozens of people wounded when as many as six gunmen and a suicide bomber attacked a police headquarterin eastern Afghanistan on Sunday morning, officials said.<\/h4>\n

It took Afghan security forces most of the day to kill the last gunmen, who had barricaded themselves in a kitchen in the compound, according to police.<\/h4>\n

The attack, claimed by the Taliban, began around 6:30 a.m. (0200 GMT) when one bomber detonated a car packed with explosives at the gate of the police headquarters in Gardez city, capital of Paktia province, said Najib Danish, a spokesman for the Interior Ministry.<\/h4>\n

Around six attackers stormed the gate after the blast, with at least two quickly killed by police. The others held out against Afghan Special Forces that had responded to the attack, he said.<\/h4>\n

Doctors at the city hospital said they had received the bodies of at least five police, as well as at least 30 wounded people, including 21 civilians.<\/h4>\n
