a poor excuse is better than no excuse at all...
the Afghan forces thwarted the plan by launching an operation and killed six Talibs including one of their commanders Hayatullah.

during the operation.

The security forces also confiscated some weapons and munitions during the same operation, the Ministry of Defense added.
