At least 24 Afghan security forces killed in insider attack: Officials

[AlAhram] At least two dozen Afghan cops were killed Friday in an insider attack on their base in southern Afghanistan, two officials told AFP.

Several "infiltrators" opened fire on their comrades as they slept, Zabul governor Rahmatullah Yarmal said, in one of the deadliest attacks since the US signed a withdrawal deal with the Taliban

last month.

The pre-dawn raid targeted a joint police and army headquarters near Qalat, the scenic provincial capital, long considered a Taliban stronghold.

"In the attack, 14 Afghan army forces and 10 coppers were killed," Zabul provincial council chief Ata Jan Haq Bayan said.

He added that four other Afghan cops were missing.

"The attackers had connections with the Taliban bully boys," Bayan said.

They fled in two military Humvee vehicles, along with a pickup truck, weapons and ammunition.

Yarmal confirmed the toll to AFP.

The Taliban did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
