The Taliban destroyed a convoy of fuel tankers carrying supplies for the NATO contingent in Afghanistan, the local Pahjwok news agency reported on Monday.

The attack took place on Sunday night at the junction of the highways between the Afghan capital Kabul and city of Ghazni.

More than ten fuel tankers were destroyed in the attack. The police criticized the drivers of the convoy for stopping every time the convoy was shot at, running away from their vehicles and splitting up the group.

Taliban press secretary Zabidullah Modzhadeh said another 25 tankers were destroyed on Sunday night in the Wardak province, killing several private security guards and military personnel.

There was no comment about either incident on the ISAF website.
