An Iraqi man carrying explosives was arrested Friday in a posh neighborhood of Kabul where many foreigners have homes and offices. It's believed Defense Minister Mohammed Fahim was the target, his secretary, Gulbuddin Hamdard, told The Associated Press. The Iraqi man, who was not identified, was picked up on a street corner in the capital's Wazir Akbar Khan District, Hamdard said. ``The defense minister often travels this route. We are still investigating, but we think he was a suicide bomber,'' he said.
It's just a coincidence that he's an Iraqi — Qaeda is chock full of members of the master race Arabs from all countries. It is significant that it's an Arab who's expressing the indignation of the Afghan people at the foreign occupation of their country...
And a little more, from Afgha.com...Iraqi Arab terrorists today at 1:00 PM local time wanted to assassinate Marshal Mohammad Qasim Fahim the Defense minister and deputy president Islamic Transitional Government of Afghanistan.
Talking to Afgha’s correspondent in Kabul General Saleh Raigestani a high ranking defense ministry official said the terrorist had packed 10Kgs of explosive in his waist and wanted to assassinate the Defense minister while he wanted to leave his home to attend the Friday prayers.
Later at night Kabul television showed the terrorist, and his explosive materials.
It has also been added that the terrorist has entered Afghanistan through eastern borders of Afghanistan.
It is the second time after the establishment of Interim Authority the Defense minister has escaped an assassination attempt the first attempt was made in Eastern city of Jalalabad. Just nobbled right over the eastern border, did he? Wonder where he could have come from? Lesseee, how many countries border Afghanistan on the east?... Uh... One. |
