#1 BBC also says it was a fuel truck: Afghan police have reportedly seized a fuel tanker with explosives on board as it was being driven into the capital, Kabul. Afghan TV said a plot to carry out a terrorist attack on the city had been foiled and a number of people arrested had "confessed to the crime". Confessed? Gee, I wonder how they managed that?

#2 Did the truck happen to have Pakistan plates?

#3 Update 9/17: It was a 12,000 gallon tanker full of jet fuel headed for Bagram air base. Glad they caught this one.
