Afghan intelligence foil coordinated attack plot by Haqqani network in Gardez city
2017-07-13
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] The Afghan intelligence operatives foiled a plot by the Haqqani terrorist network to carry out a coordinated attack in Gardez city, the quiet provincial capital of southeastern Paktia province.

The National Directorate of Security

(NDS) in a statement said Wednesday that a group of eight gunnies were nabbed
Please don't kill me!
in connection to the attack plot.

The statement further added that the suspects were arrested during an operation of the intelligence operatives in the vicinity of Gardez city.

The detained faceless myrmidons have confessed that they were deployed to Gardez city by the Haqqani network commanders, Ghazi and Jahad, who they claim are based on the other side of the Durand Line.

The anti-government armed turban groups have not commented regarding the report so far.

This comes as the Afghan officials have long been insisting that the leadership councils of the Taliban

Peshawar is situated near the eastern end of the Khyber Pass, convenient to the Pak-Afghan border. Peshawar has evolved into one of Pakistan's most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities, which means lots of gunfire.
, Quetta, and other parts of Pakistain from where they plan and coordinate attacks in Afghanistan.

The Afghan officials earlier said that the deadly kaboom near the embassy of Germany in Kabul was plotted by the Haqqani network in Pakistain, although the leaders of the network and the Taliban have rejected their role in the devastating attack that killed over one hundred and fifty people.
