Suicide bombers and gunmen launched apparent coordinated attacks on two Kabul police stations on Wednesday, with security forces still searching buildings for some of the assailants. After an easing of attacks in Kabul in February and March, Taliban and Islamic State militants have stepped up assaults in the city in recent weeks. Interior ministry spokesman Najib Danish said a suicide bomber blew himself up outside the station, triggering an intense gunfight. Ariana TV footage showed a thick plume of black smoke rising into the sky while a photo posted on Twitter purportedly of the west Kabul police station showed a building on fire. Health ministry spokesman Waheed Majroh said one person was killed in the west Kabul attack and six others wounded.
