Suicide bomb squad captured in Kabul

A senior Afghan official announced Monday the arrest of nine would-be suicide bombers who were allegedly plotting attacks on "strategic targets" in Kabul. The men, aged between 16 and 55, were arrested during a co-ordinated operation that included raids on at least one madrassa, or religious school, in the capital, a spokesman for the country's spy agency said.
"They were planning attacks on strategic targets but since the investigation is ongoing we cannot go into details," Sayed Ansari, spokesman for the National Directorate for Security (NDS), told reporters.
