Afghan police fire towards a building that has come under assault from gunmen and suicide attackers.
Two Afghan guards were killed here when a group of insurgents attacked this private logistics company near a base used by NATO led forces in the western province of Herat.
A government spokesman said five others were wounded when the building came under attack by five suicide bombers, who were all killed.
The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack, the latest in a string of recent assaults across Afghanistan.
Violence in the country is at its worst since the start of the war 10 years ago according to the United Nations, despite the presence of more than 130,000 troops.
