At least 17 police and army personnel were killed in an apparent insider attack at a joint military and police base, Afghanistan\u2019s Ministry of Defence said.<\/h2>\n

Ariana News Agency-\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Assadullah Kakar, a provincial council member, said the Taliban carried out the attack in southern Zabul province with the assistance of Afghan police and army personnel inside the base.<\/p>\n

No-one immediately took responsibility, with Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahed merely saying he would look into the allegation.<\/p>\n

The attack comes as the US and Nato carry out a staged withdrawal of troops after a peace deal signed last month between Washington and the Taliban. The pullout is tied to promises by the Taliban to fight terrorism, including the so-called Islamic State group\u2019s affiliate in eastern Afghanistan.<\/p>\n

A spokesman for President Ashraf Ghani (pictured) said the \u201cheinous\u201d attack called into question the Taliban\u2019s commitment to the peace deal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
