11 policemen dead after attack by Taliban
{{date|April 14, 2008}}{{Afghanistan}}

Eleven policemen have been killed after members of the [[Afghan Taliban|Taliban]] attacked a group of police Arghandab region of [[Afghanistan]]. The attack, which took place yesterday evening, also resulted in the Taliban taking many of the weapons used by the police.

The police chief in the area commented on the incident. "At least 11 Afghan police were killed last night in the Arghandab district," he said when talking to AFP.

The BBC claims the police are easier targets than the Afghan and [[NATO]] forces for organisations like the Taliban because they often have less training, in addition to weaker weapons.
