Afghan security forces foil explosion plot

The Afghan security forces have thwarted a plot by the militants to detonate an improvised explosive device in Afghan's capital city Kabul.

A remote-controlled improvised explosive device was discovered from the 5th police district of the city before it was detonated, reported Khaama Press, citing, the Criminal Investigation Department (CID), as saying.

The explosives were planted on a roadside.

This comes after the Afghan National Police (ANP) forces have thwarted three back to back explosions in different parts of Kabul as part of their ongoing efforts to foil the destructive plots being hatched by the anti-government armed elements.
