KABUL, Feb. 7 (Xinhua) -- Anti-government militants attacked a convoy of NATO-led troops in Baghlan province north of Afghanistan Sunday, provincial police chief Mohammad Kabir Andarabi said.
"Soldiers from Hungary went to Andarab district today but on the way back to their base in Baghlan's provincial capital Pul-e- Khumri, they came under attack," Andarabi told Xinhua.
During the firefight a Taliban insurgent was killed and another sustained injuries, Andarabi added.
Meantime, Zabir Sadiqi, who claims to speak for Hizb-e-Islami -- an associate militant group to Taliban, accepted responsibility and, in talks with media via cellular phone from unknown location, said insurgents inflicted casualties on the troops by firing rockets.
However, Andarabi rejected the claim, stressing that there were no casualties on the NATO soldiers.
A civilian-military unit of Hungary -- the Provincial Reconstruction Team (PRT) -- is based in Pul-e-Khumri to help strengthen security and reconstruction process in the northern Baghlan province.
Some 360 Hungarian soldiers within the framework of NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) have been serving in Afghanistan to maintain security there.
