[Tolo News] Seven would-be-jacket wallahs were nabbed by National Directorate of Security (NDS) in southern Kandahar province, senior provincial officials said on Monday. The jacket wallahs had infiltrated into Afghanistan from neighbouring Pakistain and they were nabbed in Haji Arab village of the scenic provincial capital, Naeem Momen, NDS Chief of Kandahar said.
Kandahar governor praised national security personnel for the achievement.
The jacket wallahs were planning to target government buildings including governor and national security offices in organised and consecutive attacks in the province, said Mr Momen.
He said all the nabbed hard boyz are Afghans but had crossed into Afghanistan from Pakistain to carry out suicide assaults.
"They are sent by neighbouring countries and we have plenty of evidence to prove it," said Mr Naeem.
NDS chief of Kandahar said this would have caused a catastrophe, if NDS had failed to detain them.
"I am happy that NDS chief along with his personnel are making serious efforts to improve security," said Governor Toryalai Weesa.
