                  Six Killed in Militant Attack in Afghanistan

   by VOA News

   Officials in eastern Afghanistan say an insurgent attack on a
   governor's compound has left at least six people dead.
   Authorities in the Panjshir valley say six militants dressed in police
   uniforms carried out the assault Wednesday in one of the country's most
   stable areas.
   Officials say at least three of the militants were wearing suicide
   vests.
   Authorities say at least five militants and one police officer died in
   the attack.
   Panjshir was a bastion of anti-Taliban resistance during the
   extremists' regime and has been largely peaceful since they were
   ousted.
