BAGHDAD: At least two Spanish soldiers have been killed and three others injured after a suicide attacker crashed an explosive-laden vehicle into their convoy, an ISAF spokesperson said.

The Taliban claimed it carried out the attack on Sunday in the town of Azizabad in northwestern Herat province.

General Ikramudin Yawar, an Afghan police commander, said the troops were attacked in the Shindand district as they were travelling in a convoy with Afghan soldiers.

Earlier reports had said the dead and injured were Italian soldiers in the Nato-led International Security Assistance Force.

Violence has increased steadily in Afghanistan in recent months as the Taliban, who were in government between 1996 and 2001, have grown in strength.
