[Tolo News] Senior provincial officials on Sunday said 11 suspects of Italian base suicide kaboom last month were jugged in western Afghanistan.
Herat Governor Dawood Shah Saba said provincial security forces have also repelled some attacks in different parts of the province. Governor Saba said seven of the suspects were jugged in Chungar village located in Enjeel district. "Eleven individuals linked to the network were jugged. They were involved in planning and conduct of beturbanned goon operations. The case is still under investigation," Governor Saba said. The governor said security forces had also jugged a suspected orc who wanted to attack the US consulate there. Two days ago an individual disguised in police uniform planning to target US consulate with a police truck bomb was jugged before carrying out his attack. Last month the Provincial Reconstruction Team (PRT) came under a deadly attack by beturbanned goons that led to the death of at least four people. Herat, a normally peaceful western province of Afghanistan is among the first handover areas where Afghan cops are due to undertake security responsibilities from foreign forces. | |
