One terrorist was a university student in Kabul, and another one had studied in a religious school in a country neighboring Afghanistan, he said. The police have seized explosives and bombs from the four detainees, who are all Afghans.
Kabul, a former relatively calm city, is plagued by frequent suicide bombings in the past two months. On Monday, a suicide bombing ripped off a road in eastern Kabul, killing three policemen and injuring eight persons. On Sept. 8, a suicide car blast killed 15 people including two U.S. soldiers just outside the U.S. embassy. Earlier this month, the U.S.-led coalition forces warned a suicide bomber cell was working in Kabul and remained a serious threat. Meanwhile, a senior Taliban commander Mullah Dadullah recently claimed the Taliban had registered 500 fighters ready to be used as suicide bombers in this volatile country.
