                        10 Police Killed in Afghanistan

   Officials in western Afghanistan say a roadside bomb has killed six
   police officers.
   Authorities say a vehicle the police were riding in was destroyed when
   it hit the bomb Tuesday in the Obe district of Herat province.
   The police were assigned to work as guards on a dam project.
   There was no claim of responsibility, but similar assaults often are
   blamed on the Taliban.
   Meanwhile, a Taliban offensive in southern Afghanistan has killed four
   police officers.
   Officials say a large number of Taliban fighters attacked several
   security checkpoints in Helmand province.
