Kabul - Taliban militants crossed the Pakistani border into southern Afghanistan and attacked police, leaving one insurgent dead, officials said on Tuesday.

Around 50 Taliban crossed into a remote area of southern Paktika province from Pakistan and traded heavy machine gun fire with police late on Monday, said Sayyed Jamal, spokesperson for the governor.

One policeman was also wounded in the clash, Jamal said.

The militants slipped back into Pakistan after the fight, he said.
