Two Taliban militants were killed as their bomb exploded prematurely in Herat province west of Afghanistan Saturday, a local official said.

"Two Taliban terrorists were busy in mine planting on a road in Shindand district this morning but suddenly the device went off killing both on the spot,"district chief Lal Mohammad Omarzai told Xinhua.

This is the second incident of its kind claiming the lives of Taliban militants in Afghanistan over the past two days.

Similar incident killed five Taliban militants including their commander Mullah Sharafudin alias Shahabudin along with four of his bodyguards in Dasht-e-Archi district of northern Kunduz province Friday.

Taliban often use roadside bombings and suicide attacks against Afghan and NATO-led forces based in Afghanistan.
