Police Seize Explosive-Laden Truck in Paktia: MoI
[Tolo News] The Afghan Ministry of Interior (MoI) officials on Monday confirmed that a truck carrying more than 1000kg of explosives was seized by police forces in Paktia province in the early morning.

According to MoI front man Siddiq Siddiqi, the truck's driver was bound for Gardiz city, the capital of Paktia province. Once a clash began with security forces who identified him as a threat, he was maimed and the truck disabled. However,
some people are alive only because it's illegal to kill them...
the drama did not end there.

"After a clash with police forces he got injured and when the police moved him to the hospital he went kaboom! and died, but nobody else was harmed," Siddiqi told TOLOnews.

It was not explained how Paktia police were able to finger the truck and its driver as threats or just how the culprit managed to sneak explosives on his person past officers and into the hospital once he had been apprehended.

The incident took place after the ministry of MoI had announced it would be taking heightened security measures in coordination with the Afghan National Army (ANA) and other security forces during Eid celebrations.

"We are trying to provide better security during these days and we will do whatever is needed," Siddiqi said.
