Three police officers were killed late Saturday as suspected Taliban attacked a police vehicle carrying ballot boxes to Uruzgan's provincial capital Trinkot, the city police confirmed.
"The ballot boxes were taking from Chorak district to Trinkot when armed Taliban ambushed the vehicle, killing three policemen escorting the car," Rozi Khan told Xinhua.
The former Taliban remnants, who vowed to derail the presidential elections have fired several rockets in Kabul and other cities since Saturday morning but the polling process was held as per schedule and ended at 6 PM local time (13:30 GMT).
Nothing like democracy to really tick off terrorists.
