Possible car bombing in Kabul thwarted

KABUL (PAN): Five suspected terrorists were held with an explosives-laden vehicle in the heavily-fortified capital Kabul on Wednesday afternoon, the intelligence service said.

Based on a prior tip, intelligence agents seized the men with 560 kilograms of explosives from a mini-van, astatement from the spy agency said.

The “enemies of peace” -- a euphemism for the Taliban -- wanted to conduct a suicide attack on the Kabul airport road, but the National Directorate of Security (NDS) personnel thwarted their plans, the statement added.
