KABUL – Two roadside bombs tore through a convoy carrying Afghan private security guards, killing 10 of them in eastern Afghanistan, an official said Wednesday.
Another blast in the south killed two Afghan police and wounded five more officers, police said
The convoy in eastern Pakitia province was initially hit by a blast that killed one security guard on Tuesday, said police chief Azizullah Wardak of the province.
A second improvised explosive device then ripped through the convoy and killed nine guards in another vehicle in Paktia's Chamkani district, Wardak said.
The Afghan guards were based with U.S. troops in the area. It was unclear what security company they were working for, or if they were traveling with American forces.
