| Govt's Security Strategy for Kabul Under Fire |
| 2016-09-10 |
| So to speak... The Ministry of Interior (MoI) Friday confirmed intelligence and reconnaissance institutions were failing to foil terrorist attacks in Kabul, but vowed to plan more coherent and robust security measures to thwart militant attacks. "If we analyze the performance of the intelligence bodies, they have made achievements, every mission has its own weak point and strong point," said MoI deputy spokesman Najibullah Danish. However, a large number of attacks in Kabul have been carried out by truck bombings. But police at some check posts say that searching these vehicles is not part of their duty. Pul-e-Charkhi area of Kabul is one of the key routes into the city where the police does not search every vehicle entering the capital. "Police search only small vehicles such as Corollas; we do not search the trucks," said a police officer in Pul-e-Charkhi. "They (police) do not search trucks loaded with cement, flour, tomatoes and potatoes," said a driver, Gahwar. "A suicide attack happened in the city including Shahr-e-Naw attack, these attacks should not happen in the city," said a resident of Kabul, Sattar. "Intelligence agencies are quite weak," said another resident Matin. "There are serious weaknesses and incompetency with our intelligence institutions, the national unity government should take steps to improve the performance of the intelligence and reconnaissance organs and their working capacity," said senator Hedayatollah Rehayee.
