NDS Raids Daesh Safe House In Kabul City

The National Directorate of Security (NDS) on Tuesday said it raided a Daesh facility in Kabul’s PD5 on Tuesday and seized a large cache of weapons and ammunition. 
 
The NDS said this house was used in the run up to the military academy attack on Monday – and was thought to have been used to plan the attack. 
 
The facility is located in Qala-e-Wahid area in Kabul. 
 
“There are RPGs, there is a suicide vest, each box in it has two kilograms of explosives, each of them has eight kilograms weight,” said one NDS officer. 
 
A local representative for the area said a man and a woman had rented the house two weeks ago. 
 
“They were a wife and husband,” Khawja Seddiq, the representative of the area said. 
 
“People are very disappointed, they don’t feel secure even walking to the shop, because every minute there is fear of suicide explosion,” a resident, Ansarullah, said. 
 
“It shows the weakness of government’s intelligence apparatus,” another resident Noor-ul-Haq said. 
 
NDS said the arrest of one Daesh insurgent during the attack on the military academy on Monday led to the discovery of the house. 
 
Security forces have however carried out a number of operations in the same area in the past.
