[Tolo News] Afghan National Directorate of Security (NDS) has jugged seven would-be jacket wallahs who were planning to mar the New Year celebration.
At a news conference in the capital Kabul NDS Spokesperson Lutfullah Mashal said all the seven would-be suicide bombers are linked with the Haqqani Network, an Death Eater group active in Pakistain's tribal belt.

Mr Mashal said air raids by US unmanned planes in Pakistain's lawless tribal areas have forced Death Eaters to relocate in Korm Agency that could end up to threatening security in a number of provinces, including Nangarhar, Pashtun-infested Logar, Badakhshan and even Kabul.
"They plan was to carry out  suicide kabooms against security forces, officials and civilians at a shrine in the west of Kabul," Mashal said.
"Fortunately, security forces tossed in the calaboose them and they were not able to carry out their attacks during the New Year celebration."
Mashal also said two brothers, involved in a suicide kaboom in January that targeted a bath house in Spin Boldak district of Kandahar, have also been tossed in the calaboose.
He said intelligence forces have also tossed in the calaboose plotters of Nangarhar suicide kabooms. |
