Pakistanis arrested for plot to kill Khalilzad
 KABUL: Afghan intelligence officials have thwarted a plot to assassinate US Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad and arrested three Pakistanis armed with rocket propelled grenades and assault rifles, an Afghan presidential spokesman said on Monday. The men were arrested in Laghman province on Sunday. Two senior Afghan officials said the men had confessed to their crimes. "Their aim was to assassinate Khalilzad," said one of the officials. Afghan television later broadcast a video of the suspects. They identified themselves as Murat Khan, Noor Alam, and Zahid. Two said they came from Peshawar, and the other said he was from Mansehra. The men told agents that they had been trained in Wah Cantt. Posted by: Fred 2005-06-21 |
