Kunduz Governor Suicide Attack Mastermind Detained
2011-01-26
[Tolo News] Organiser of suicide kaboom that targeted Kunduz governor has been jugged, a top official at National Directorate of Security (NDS) announced on Tuesday.

The NDS said the efforts are on the ground to detain organisers of Islamic exemplar attacks on India's embassy and Indian citizens' guesthouse in Kabul.

Kunduz governor Mohammad Omar, who had gone to his house to neighbouring Takhar province, was killed along with hundreds of Friday prayer performers in a kaboom in a mosque last year.

NDS officials highlighted that the attacks on Indian locations were carried out by the Haqqani network.

While praising Pakistain's cooperation in the fight against Islamic exemplars, national directorate of security emphasised that bulk of terrorist attacks were planned by Pak citizens.

When asked about Pakistain's involvement in attacks against Indian locations, Lotfullah Mashal NDS Spokesperson said, "They were Pak citizens, but there is no solid evidence to prove whether Pakistain's intelligence or government was involved in the attacks."

"Pakistain's government has recently increased cooperation with us," Mr Mashal added.

Insurgents' leader in southwestern region in the country was jugged. The leader had pivotal role in terrorist attacks in southern Afghanistan, Mr Mashal said.

Mr Mashal said an car bomb was seized by NDS personnel in western Herat province.

In recent months, NDS has made significant gains in the fight, but it called on Afghan citizens to help the department to stop cut-throats targeting innocent people.
