Anti-government militants attacked a convoy of a private security company in Zabul province south of Afghanistan Monday night killing two guards and set on fire over a dozen vehicles, spokesman for provincial government Mohammad Jan Rasoulyar said Tuesday.

"The Taliban rebels attacked the convoy of a security company in Shahr-e-Safa district Monday night killing two guards, wounding five and set ablaze 15 vehicles," Rasoulyar told Xinhua.

However, he failed to identify the name of the company, saying it escorts logistic convoys of NATO-led troops in the province.

He also said that all those killed and injured were Afghans.

Taliban militants have speed up activities against Afghans and NATO-led troops based in Afghanistan.
