Afghans Arrest Suspected Kabul Suicide Recruiter
Afghan police have arrested a man suspected of trying to recruit students to carry out suicide attacks on international peacekeepers in Kabul, a spokesman for the multinational force said on Saturday. Commander Chris Henderson, spokesman for the 6,400-strong NATO-led International Security Assistance Force, said he knew of no connection between the suspectâs activities at the university and two deadly suicide attacks on ISAF forces earlier this year. "He was discovered at the (Kabul) university apparently encouraging students to conduct suicide attacks against ISAF," Henderson told a news briefing in Kabul, adding that the Taliban sympathizer was arrested on Thursday afternoon. "There was no suspected threat against anyone other than ISAF, yet it was the police that discovered this person and the police had acted independently and they did so very, very quickly." Khalil Aminzada, deputy for Kabul police chief General Baba Jan, confirmed the arrest, adding: "We are investigating this, but we do not yet have anything concrete against him."
