Kabul, Dec 25 (IBNS): One policeman was killed and three attackers were killed as terrorists attacked a government building in Afghanistan's Kabul city, media reports said Tuesday.

The incident left six others injured.

Kabul police spokesman Basir Mujahid told Pajhwok Afghan News the attack in the 16th police district started unfolding at around 3pm and the assailants first exploded an explosive-laden car near the Ministry of Public Works and then entered the nearby National Authority for People with Disabilities and Martyrs’ Families.

The attackers took the government employees as hostages for several hours.

Security forces and the attackers exchanged gunfires.

Mujahid told the Afghanistan-based news agency that the gunmen entered the government building after the car bombing and the exchange of fire continued as of 8pm.  

An eyewitness told the news agency the gun-battle began after two powerful blasts.
