Taliban 'has Afghanistan loya jirga security plan'
The Taliban in Afghanistan says it has obtained a government security plan for the grand assembly of leaders, or loya jirga, which opens in Kabul this week.The document includes what appears to be a detailed list of security arrangements for senior figures. Afghan security officials have denied that the document is genuine. Meanwhile, a suicide bomber has been killed while attempting to attack the tented site where the 2,000 members of the loya jirga will meet. The attacker was shot outside the tent and died after his explosives vest detonated, the BBC was told. No-one else was killed or injured, officials said. 'False claim' The 27-page plan published on the Taliban's website includes what appears to be a list of security arrangements for Afghan ministers and the President, Hamid Karzai. There is a rundown of security officials with their titles and specific responsibilities and what looks like a police map, the BBC's Orla Guerin in Kabul says. Posted by: tipper 2011-11-14 |
