Kabul, Afghanistan (CNN) -- Two suicide bombers attacked a guest house in central Kabul Tuesday, killing three people, said Afghanistan's Interior Ministry.

The house in the Taimani neighborhood was being used by a British security company, a local security service staff member told CNN.

Two drivers for the security company and a gate guard were killed, said Interior spokesman Zamari Bashari.

The two suicide bombers died as well, he added.
