Taliban militants killed at least 10 members of the Afghan army today in two co-ordinated attacks on the country's fledgling security forces.

In Kabul, two suicide bombers ambushed an army bus on the eastern outskirts. Officials said they opened fire before one of suicide bomber's vests detonated when he was shot, causing one of the buses to catch fire.

The other militant was shot and killed before his device exploded, said Khalil Dastyar, deputy chief of Kabul police.

Five soldiers on the bus were killed and a further nine injured.
