KABUL, Afghanistan - A government official says militants have killed four police and wounded seven others in central Afghanistan.
Meanwhile, the U.S.-led coalition says its troops have killed several militants and captured one they had sought.
Sayed Ismail Jahangir, spokesman for the governor of Ghazni province, says the police casualties happened during a militant ambush of a two-vehicle police convoy in the Zana Khan district Sunday night.
The coalition clash with militants also occurred Sunday night, in Tala Wa Barf district in the northern Baghlan province.
Coalition forces were searching for a militant wanted in connection with planting roadside bombs.
A coalition statement Monday does not specify the number of militants killed.
