KABUL, Afghanistan (CNN) -- A suicide bomber detonated an explosives-laden vehicle at the entrance of an Afghan intelligence headquarters Thursday, killing at least one police officer, officials said.
The Afghan city Khost has seen a number of bombings, including this one last month.
The attack in the city of Khost, the capital of Khost province, also wounded several others, including some intelligence agents.
Tahir Sabarai, the province's deputy governor, said the attack killed one and wounded eight. But Mohammaduddin Mohammadi, head of province's health department, said two police officers were killed and nine hurt.
A second car parked near the building also went off, and officials believe it was remotely detonated, Sabarai said. Soon afterward, about eight militants in police and army uniforms stormed the building and a gun battle ensued, a police official said.
No one immediately took responsibility for the attack.
