 KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) - A two-hour clash between suspected Taliban militants and police left two officers dead in western Afghanistan, a spokesman said Sunday.
The Taliban attacked the highway police checkpoint Saturday night in the Bakwa district of Farah province, and two police were killed in the subsequent gun battle, said Baryalai Khan, spokesman of the provincial police chief.
Separately, a U.N. mine-clearing worker was wounded by suspected Taliban militants during an ambush on Afghan and U.S.-led coalition forces north of Kabul, the coalition said Sunday.
