Haqqani network trucks packed with 12,500 kgs of explosives seized in Paktika
 [Khaama (Afghanistan)] The Afghan intelligence operatives thwarted a deadly attack plot by the Haqqani terrorist network in eastern Paktika...which coincidentally borders South Wazoo... province of Afghanistan by seizing two trucks loaded with 12,500 kgs of explosives. The National Directorate of Security ...the Afghan national intel agency... (NDS) said the explosives were loaded on two trucks and were confiscated by the intelligence operatives before they manage to use them in an attack. A statement by NDS said the explosives were placed under woods and a suspect identified as Rafiq has been jugged Please don't kill me! in connection to the transport of the explosives. No further details were given regarding the exact location where the trucks were seized and the possible target of the attack by the network. Paktika is among the relatively volatile provinces in eastern Afghanistan where anti-government armed krazed killer groups are actively operating and often carry out insurgency activities. At least six civilians, belonging to the same family, were killed in an kaboom triggered by roadside kaboom in this province recently. The Haqqani terrorist network was found in the late 1970s by Jalaluddin Haqqani ...founder and still titular head of the Haqqani Network. Jalaluddin is old and tough and very crafty, one of the few Pashtun warlords who was worth spit... and is accused of staging numerous cross-border attacks from their base in North  Wazoo, including the 19-hour siege at the US Embassy in Kabul...the capital of Afghanistan. Home to continuous fighting from 1992 to 1996 between the forces of would-be strongman and Pak ISI/Jamaat-e-Islami sock puppet Gulbuddin Hekmayar and the Northern Alliance, a period which won Hek the title Most Evil Man in the Worldand didn't do much for the reputations of the Northern Alliance guys either.... in September 2011. The network is allied with al-Qaeda and the Afghan Taliban and cooperates with other terrorist organizations in the region and was designated a Foreign Terrorist Organization on September 7, 2012 by the US Department of State.
