A terror attack was foiled in Afghan capital Kabul following tight security measures taken in the city ahead of Eid al-Adha celebrations, the media reported on Tuesday.
According to Kabul police Chief Abdul Rahman Rahimi, a motorcycle with explosive materials hidden under its seat was found near the Hamid Karzai International Airport, Khaama Press reported.

Rahimi urged people to assist security forces by informing them if they find anything suspicious.
