在阿富汗东部自杀爆炸手炸死5名警察

Afghan officials say a group of suicide bombers has attacked a police base in the eastern city of Jalalabad, killing at least five officers.

阿富汗官员说，一组自杀爆炸手袭击了东部城市贾拉拉巴德的一处警方设施，造成至少五名警察死亡。

Police say one of the attackers set off a car bomb early Tuesday at the entrance to the police headquarters. At least two others then blew themselves up inside the facility. Several others militants were killed in an hour-long gun battle with police.

阿富汗警方说，一名袭击者星期二凌晨在该警方设施入口处引爆了汽车炸弹，随后至少另两名袭击者在这一设施内引爆了身上的炸弹。袭击者与警察发生一小时枪战，几名激进分子被击毙。

The Taliban immediately claimed responsibility for the attack, which also left at least four others wounded.

塔利班立即宣称对这起袭击负责。这次袭击还造成至少四人受伤。

The attack came as U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry made a brief visit to the country. Kerry met with President Hamid Karzai in Kabul Monday. He is expected to hold a series of private meetings before leaving Tuesday.

在发生这起袭击事件之际，美国国务卿克里对阿富汗进行一次短暂访问。星期一，克里在喀布尔会晤了阿富汗总统卡尔扎伊。预计，克里在星期二离开阿富汗之前还将举行一系列私下会谈。
