![]() Farahi said rebels had been building car-bombs and helping would-be suicide-bombers come to Kabul from neighbouring Pakistan, where militants are said to have support and training in tribal areas along the border. “The terrorist network was facilitating suicide bombings in Kabul,” he said. The police chief said the arrested men were among the “main organisers” of the suicide blasts and their capture was one of the most significant successes of the police force. Farahi said the men were allied to Al-Qaeda but did not spell out if they were from the Taliban movement, which is supported by Osama bin Laden’s network and is blamed for most of the scores of suicide bombings in Afghanistan. |
