[Tolo News] Afghan National Directorate of Security (NDS) Wednesday said an beturbanned goon group plotting attack against first Vice President was nabbed. | Clearly the beturbanned goons were not Muslims because, as everyone knows, Muslims don't even so much as plot to kill other Muslims. |
The group holds ties with Haqqani network, an al-Qaeda linked network operating from Pakistain.
Haqqani network made up of Pak Taliban is blamed for majority of beturbanned goon attacks against government officials and foreign troops in Afghanistan.
Mashal said efforts to improve security will increase in 2011.
In the past one year Afghan national security forces have jugged 17 beturbanned goon groups and two other groups on charges of abduction, he said.
"The detainees were plotting a suicide kaboom to target the first VP Marshal Mohammad Qasim Fahim. They confessed they are members of Serajuddin Haqqani Network," he said.
"National Directorate of Security's aim is to bring peace to Afghanistan," he further said. "First we try to convince Orcs and similar vermin to join the grinding of the peace processor and if it does not work, we either detain or kill them."
Mr Mashal said NDS has taken new approaches to inflict some big blows on beturbanned goons. He expects notable achievements in counter-terrorism this year.
