KABUL, Afghanistan, Dhu Al-Qa'dah 9, 1435, Sep 4, 2014, SPA -- The Taliban struck a government compound in eastern Afghanistan early on Thursday in an attack that included two suicide truck bombings and left at least 12 people dead, including eight off duty policemen asleep in their quarters nearby, AP quoted officials as saying. The assailants first set off the two massive truck bombs outside the government compound in the provincial capital of Ghazni, followed by a full frontal assault by over a dozen gunmen. The assault triggered a gunbattle with the policemen and security forces at the compound and officials said all 13 assailants were subsequently killed. The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack. --SPA 11:55 LOCAL TIME 08:55 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
