Afghan officials say a group of suicide bombers has attacked a police base in the eastern city of Jalalabad, killing at least five officers.
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.
The Taliban immediately claimed responsibility for the attack, which also left at least four others wounded.
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.
