At least 22 police officers were killed in a Taliban ambush in western Afghanistan, a health official said today, in another blow to Afghan forces already suffering record casualties.
The attack on the police convoy in Farah province follows a wave of violence across Afghanistan in recent weeks, including a suicide bombing inside an army base mosque on Friday, and intensifying efforts to convince the Taliban to end the 17-year war.
The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack in a WhatsApp message, saying 25 police were killed and four wounded.
