    KABUL, Afghanistan - Six Afghan National Police were beheaded by insurgents in Dahanah-ye Ghori District, Baghlan province, yesterday.

    ANP forces successfully repelled an insurgent attack on a school, clinic and the district governors' building in Dahanah-ye Ghori city, killing several insurgents.

    During the attack, insurgents overran a police checkpoint and killed the police officers by cutting off their heads.

    "This incident once again demonstrates the brutal, barbaric and senseless acts committed by the Taliban," said Col. Rafael Torres, ISAF Joint Command Combined Joint Operations Center director. "We remain committed to serving alongside our Afghan partners to improve security and development for all Afghans," Torres added.
