| [Khaama (Afghanistan)] The Afghan national defense and security forces have seized around one thousand and four hundred kilograms of Ammonium Nitrate from the main highway between Torkham and Jalalabad city. The Ministry of Interior (MoI) said the chemicals were placed inside a lorry and the turbans were looking to transport it to an unknown location for the manufacturing of explosives, mainly the Improvised Explosive Devices used in roadside kaboomings. "Afghan National Police (ANP) seized 1400 kilos of Ammonium Nitrate, a key component used to make Improvised Explosive Devices," the statement by MoI said, adding that the Ammonium Nitrate was placed in a truck transporting goods to Afghanistan. MoI also added that the police searched the truck and found the Ammonium Nitrate hidden under the goods in Torkham port, eastern Nangarhar The unfortunate Afghan province located adjacent to Mohmand, Kurram, and Khyber Agencies. The capital is Jalalabad. The province was the fief of Younus Khalis after the Soviets departed and one of his sons is the current provincial Taliban commander. Nangarhar is Haqqani country.. province. One suspect was tossed in the calaboose Maw! They're comin' to get me, Maw! on accusation of this case and an investigation was underway into the case, MoI added. The anti-government armed myrmidon groups have not commented regarding the report so far. Taliban ...the Pashtun equivalent of men... Lions of Islam and turbans belonging to other Lion of Islam groups frequently use improvised bombs as the weapon of their choice to target the security forces and government personnel but in majority of such attacks the ordinary civilians are targeted. |
