KANDAHAR, Afghanistan - Fighters from Afghanistan’s ousted Taleban militia killed two policemen and wounded a district police chief in an ambush in the south of the country, a local official said on Tuesday.

Three years after U.S. forces toppled the Taleban for harbouring al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, their fighters are still battling U.S. and Afghan forces mainly in the south and southeast of the country, vowing to expel foreign troops.

Azim Jan, the police chief of Ghorak district in Kandahar province, was travelling with his bodyguards from the city of Kandahar to Ghorak on Monday evening when Taleban militants attacked his convoy, the district governor Easa Jan told Reuters.

Two of the bodyguards were killed and the police chief was wounded in the ensuing firefight, Easa Jan said.
