At least six policemen have been killed after the Taliban militants launched coordinated attacks on three checkpoints in Afghanistan\u2019s western province of Farah, local officials say.<\/h4>\n

At least eight other police forces also sustained injuries in the gun battles, which occurred on Saturday night, said Mohammad Naser Mehri, a spokesman for the provincial governor, on Sunday.<\/h4>\n

He added that the fierce fighting also left at least eight militants dead and five others wounded.<\/h4>\n

Shortly after the ambush, the Taliban militant group claimed responsibility for the deadly raids.<\/h4>\n

Aqbal Baheer, Farah police spokesman, also confirmed the incident but did not specify the number of checkpoints that came under attack by Taliban militants.<\/h4>\n

Elsewhere in Afghanistan, seven suspected Taliban militants were killed when they tried to plant a roadside bomb on a road, used by Afghan security forces, in the northern Kunduz province.<\/h4>\n
