               7 Police Officers Killed in Attack in Afghanistan

   Afghan officials say suspected Taliban militants have killed seven
   police officers at a security checkpoint in the southern province of
   Kandahar.
   A spokesman for the Kandahar governor says two men invited by police to
   eat at the checkpoint picked up weapons after dinner and opened fire.
   The two attackers escaped the scene. Police say they were police
   officers.
   The Taliban claimed responsibility for the overnight attack.
   At least 14 Afghan soldiers and police have been killed this week in
   militant attacks targeting government security forces.
