Militants Use Mosques to Plot Attacks: NDS
2011-02-04
Johnson! Stop the presses!!
[Tolo News] Insurgents use mosques and other religious centres to plan their attacks against government, a bigwig in National Directorate of Security said Thursday.

Insurgent attacks are often planned in mosques and five individuals including two Imams were jugged in Kabul in connection with the issue, NDS Spokesperson, Lotfullah Mashal told a news conference.

Organisers of Kabul suicide kaboom, who targeted a supermarket in a busy diplomatic area last week, have been identified.
That was quick.
National security forces have recently jugged the Imam of a mosque located in 10th district of Kabul along with a religious student from Kandahar over charges of facilitating turban activities in the country.

National security forces seized 12 magnetic mines and more than 10 IEDs from the Imam that were kept in the mosque.
It's a bit far from that border, but were any marked "Proudly built for you by the busy hands of Iran"?
They were planning to carry out a series of attacks in Shashdarak, an area near the Presidental palace, and airport roads. During investigations, they confessed having ties with Haqqani network, which is based in Pakistain's tribal belt.

"I'm the Imam of a mosque near Airport Street," the nabbed man said.
"Show proper respect for the holy man, peasant!"
"Unfortunately, enemy uses sacred places to carry out their attacks. Kabul citizens should not let suspicious people stay in mosques overnight," Mr Mashal said.
Good advice, even when there's no mosque involved...If the parties involved are a travelling salesman and a farmer's daughter, f'r instance.
Another Imam of a mosque in Pul-e-Charkhi was nabbed on charges of plotting bully boy attacks against government and foreign forces.
