Afghanistan
Around 2,000 kgs of explosives seized in Kabul
2017-04-18
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] Around two thousand kilograms of explosives were seized during an operation by the Afghan forces 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 World and didn't do much for the reputations of the Northern Alliance guys either....
The Ministry of Interior (MoI) said the explosives were kept inside a house and the holy warriors were apparently using them in terrorist attacks.

The Ministry further added that the operation was conducted in the vicinity of Char Asiab district of Kabul which resulted into the confiscation of the explosives.

MoI also added that an investigation is underway in this regard.

The Taliban gunnies mostly use the explosives of Ammonium Nitrate type to manufacture Improvised Explosive Devices which are mainly used in roadside kaboomings.

Roadside bombings are considered as the main cause of the casualties of the security forces, babus government employees, and the ordinary civilians.

This comes as the Afghan forces on Saturday foiled a plot by the anti-government armed holy warriors to launch rockets on Kabul city.

At: least ten rockets prepared for the attack was discovered and confiscated from the Khak-e-Jabar district o Kabul before the holy warriors manage to fire them on the city.

The latest developments comes as the anti-government armed holy warriors are attempting to destabilize the key cities of the country including capital Kabul, a move which the gunnies often adopt as the weather gets warm.
