<p>Two suicide bombers wearing police uniforms have blown themselves up at an Afghan police headquarters, killing at least 12 officers in a deadly border region that has long been a refuge for Islamist extremists from around the world.</p>
<p>In a statement emailed to the media, the Taliban claimed responsibility for the attacks in the eastern Paktika province.</p>
<p>The attackers made it through three security gates before reaching the main building on the police compound, said Nawab Waziry, the provincial council head.</p>
<p>One attacker detonated his explosives inside the police headquarters building, while the other blew himself up near the entrance about 20 minutes later, Mr Waziry said.</p>
<p>&#8220;The site was covered with blood,&#8221; Mr Waziry said.</p>
<p>General Daud Andarabi, the spokesman for the regional police commander in south-eastern Afghanistan, said the blasts killed at least 12 officers and wounded 16.</p>
<p>Meyawer Khan, chief of the criminal investigation department for Paktika province, confirmed 12 people were killed. The compound was also used as a police training centre.</p>
<p>The attack took place in one of the most violent areas of Afghanistan, where Nato and Afghan forces fight daily against the Haqqani network, a Pakistan-based Taliban faction closely tied to al Qaida.</p>
<p>The area, about 90 miles south of Kabul, borders the Pakistani region of North Waziristan and has been the target of numerous drone strikes against the insurgents.</p>
<p>A Nato service member also was killed on Saturday in a bomb attack in eastern Afghanistan, but the military coalition did not give any further details, so it was unclear if there was any connection to the Paktika bombing.</p>
