HERAT, Afghanistan (AFP) — A NATO air strike in Afghanistan killed up to 16 militants overnight while a twin suicide attack killed a policeman outside a government anti-drugs office, officials said Monday.

Afghan security forces called in NATO warplanes to fend off scores of militants who attacked a police post in the northwestern province of Badghis.

"We requested air support from the international forces. As a result of the aerial bombardment, 16 Taliban have been killed," Ikramuddin Yawar, police chief for western Afghanistan told AFP.

Ten rebels were wounded, he added.
