在阿富汗東部自殺爆炸手炸死5名警察

Afghan officials say a group of suicide bombers has attacked a police base in the eastern city of Jalalabad, killing at least five officers.

阿富汗官員說，一組自殺爆炸手襲擊了東部城市賈拉拉巴德的一處警方設施，造成至少五名警察死亡。

Police say one of the attackers set off a car bomb early Tuesday at the entrance to the police headquarters. At least two others then blew themselves up inside the facility. Several others militants were killed in an hour-long gun battle with police.

阿富汗警方說，一名襲擊者星期二凌晨在該警方設施入口處引爆了汽車炸彈，隨後至少另兩名襲擊者在這一設施內引爆了身上的炸彈。襲擊者與警察發生一小時槍戰，幾名激進分子被擊斃。

The Taliban immediately claimed responsibility for the attack, which also left at least four others wounded.

塔利班立即宣稱對這起襲擊負責。這次襲擊還造成至少四人受傷。

The attack came as U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry made a brief visit to the country. Kerry met with President Hamid Karzai in Kabul Monday. He is expected to hold a series of private meetings before leaving Tuesday.

在發生這起襲擊事件之際，美國國務卿克里對阿富汗進行一次短暫訪問。星期一，克里在喀布爾會晤了阿富汗總統卡爾扎伊。預計，克里在星期二離開阿富汗之前還將舉行一系列私下會談。
