According to a security source, militants on pickup trucks reached the column, forced it to stop, took Iraqi drivers out of the vehicles, and set the trucks on fire.
The attack on the military convoy, which was heading from Basra to a US base, lasted about six minutes.
The militants then left in an unknown direction, with no casualties reported, the source added.
