Suicide Bomber Storms Court in Afghanistan

{{A suicide bomb and gun attack on a courthouse in the west Afghan city of Farah has left at least six people dead and 70 injured, most of them civilians.}}

Militants disguised as soldiers tried unsuccessfully to free suspected Taliban members, officials say.

After a fierce initial gun battle, shooting continued as militants took cover in at least one building.

Taliban insurgents said they were behind the attack in the strategic province, which borders Iran.

A bomb and gun attack on the governor’s compound last May left six policemen, a civilian and four attackers dead.
