Suicide attack organizer held with a would-be bomber by Afghan intelligence
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] The Afghan intelligence operatives foiled a deadly suicide kaboom plot by arresting a suicide attack organizer along with a would-be bomber in southeastern Khost province... across the border from Miranshah, within commuting distance of Haqqani hangouts such as Datta Khel and probably within sight of Mordor. Khost is populated by six different tribes of Pashtuns, the largest probably being the Khostwal, from which it takes its name... The National Directorate of Security ...the Afghan national intel agency... (NDS) said the group was looking to target the government officials during Eid-ul-Adha. No further details were given regarding the exact time of the operation that led to the apprehension of the group but the raid was apparently carried out ahead of Eid holidays. A statement by NDS said the attack organizer has been identified as Nasratullah son of Abdullah Hangam and the would-be bomber has been identified as Ijaz-ul-Haq son of Gul Parast. The anti-government armed holy warrior groups including the Taliban Khost is among the relatively volatile provinces in southeastern Afghanistan where the anti-government armed holy warrior groups including the Taliban group and the notorious Haqqani terrorist network are operating in a number of its districts.
