Burka Clad Gunmen in Kabul Attack on Police HQ

Burqa-clad gunmen attack Afghan police HQ: security officials – The Express Tribune: "The Taliban claimed responsibility for the two-hour attack, which occurred in the same district where presidential candidate Abdullah Abdullah’s convoy briefly came under gunfire on Wednesday.
“Today at about 6:20 am, a suicide bomber driving a minivan detonated himself at the entrance gate of the Sarobi police headquarters,” General Mohammad Zahir, Kabul province’s police chief, told AFP.
“Three other terrorists clad in women’s burqas entered the courtyard of the building and started firing and resisting the police and army forces.
“As a result of the attack, one officer was killed and three others were wounded.”
Male militants have previously used the all-enveloping burqa to disguise themselves and evade security checks in Afghanistan, including in a 2012 attack when four French troops were killed."
