[ToloNews] The National Directorate of Security...the Afghan national intel agency...
(NDS) on Friday reported that the Haqqani network's primary base of operations for assembling boom jackets and Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) inside Kabul had been discovered. The officials added that the terrorist group is too weak to confront the Afghan cops on the battlefield and so has resorted increasingly to attacks in cities aimed at causing high civilian casualties and instilling fear among the general public.
According to sources at the intelligence directorate, the explosives assembly center discovered in Kabul was located in PD8. In addition, several foreign nationals were said to have been tossed in the slammer

in connection to the recent spate of suicide kabooms around the country over the past three days.
One of the men arrested is reportedly named Sifatullah, who was ordered by Sher Khan Mangal to oversee the construction of suicide jackets and magnetic mines in Kabul. Sher Khan Mangal is thought to be the head of the intelligence wing of the Haqqani network, based in Pakistain, but operating inside Afghanistan.
"The covert soldiers of the National Directorate of Security during their targeted and special operations succeeded in dismantling several terrorist networks including Haqqani network's suicide jacket and mine-making center," NDS front man Haseeb Sediqi said on Friday.

the NDS maintains that 97 percent of planned attacks have been thwarted. "On average, out of 100 operations and attacks of the enemies only three of them are implemented and the remaining 97 percent are foiled," Sediqi said.
According to Sediqi, the explosives cache dissevered in Kabul was located in the Takrakhail area of the Deh Sabz district. Two men were arrested in connection two it.
The NDS made a point of highlighting that the tactics of the Haqqani network, which claims to be fighting Jihad yet targets innocent civilians in order to foment fear, are fundamentally against human values, Afghan culture and most importantly Islamic teachings.
