| Attack On Afghan Power Plant Averted |
| 2002-11-21 |
| Afghan security forces have discovered 55 pounds of explosives at a power plant here, averting a potential attack on the city's electrical supply, a spokesman for the force said today. The explosives were found on Monday in the generator room of the Sarobi Dam in the city's east, said Maj. Mike Edwards, a British spokesman for the multinational force that patrols Kabul, the capital. Someone's getting better at picking targets. This is a step up from bombs in the marketplace. Didn't work this time, but I'm sure they will keep trying. The Afghan authorities arrested several people in connection with the find, Major Edwards said. The Turks left their truncheon's behind when they went home. I'm sure they are being put to good use. |
