Afghan officials say militants have attacked the Independent Election Commission in Kabul. A deputy spokesman for the interior ministry told VOA the insurgents launched their attack Saturday morning on the election headquarters from a nearby house. Witnesses say they heard several explosions and gunfire at the election site. There was no immediate information about casualties. The assault is the latest in a series of attacks that the Taliban has promised to deliver in a campaign of violence to disrupt the presidential election next week.
