At least 11 Afghan paramilitary forces were killed when insurgents attacked their checkpoint, an official said on Sunday. Zabi Amani, a spokesman for the governor of the northern Sari Pul province, said two other forces were wounded in the attack late on Saturday. He said three insurgents were killed, including a local commander, and four others were wounded. Elsewhere in Afghanistan, insurgents attacked two security checkpoints in the eastern Ghazni province, killing four police and wounding five others, according to Arif Noori, spokesman for the provincial governor. The Taliban, who control large parts of the province, claimed the attack and said they captured weapons and ammunition.
