在阿富汗东部自杀爆炸手炸死5名警察

阿富汗官员说，一组自杀爆炸手袭击了东部城市贾拉拉巴德的一处警方设施，造成至少五名警察死亡。

阿富汗警方说，一名袭击者星期二凌晨在该警方设施入口处引爆了汽车炸弹，随后至少另两名袭击者在这一设施内引爆了身上的炸弹。袭击者与警察发生一小时枪战，几名激进分子被击毙。

塔利班立即宣称对这起袭击负责。这次袭击还造成至少四人受伤。

在发生这起袭击事件之际，美国国务卿克里对阿富汗进行一次短暂访问。星期一，克里在喀布尔会晤了阿富汗总统卡尔扎伊。预计，克里在星期二离开阿富汗之前还将举行一系列私下会谈。

Afghan officials say a group of suicide bombers has attacked a police base in the eastern city of Jalalabad, killing at least five officers.

Police say one of the attackers set off a car bomb early Tuesday at the entrance to the police headquarters. At least two others then blew themselves up inside the facility. Several others militants were killed in an hour-long gun battle with police.

The Taliban immediately claimed responsibility for the attack, which also left at least four others wounded.

The attack came as U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry made a brief visit to the country. Kerry met with President Hamid Karzai in Kabul Monday. He is expected to hold a series of private meetings before leaving Tuesday.
