Taliban suicide bombers blew up a car and stormed Kabul traffic police headquarters before dawn Monday, setting off a gun battle that raged for six hours and left at least 10 people wounded, police said. The raid started just before dawn when a suicide car bomber blew up his vehicle at the gate of the traffic police department building, close to the Afghan parliament and the Kabul zoo, said the city's police chief, Mohammad Ayub Salangi. Then, another two or three attackers "armed with suicide vests and heavy and light weapons entered the compound," said a statement from Salangi's office. According to the statement, six of the 10 wounded were civilians and four were members of the security services. There were no immediate reports of any fatalities among the security forces. At least two of the attackers were killed by police, according to a report of the Associated Press.
