7 Burka-Clad Terrorists Captured in Nangarhar

Afghan border police captured 7 terrorists who disgused themselves as women in burkas, in Nangarhar province on Monday, local officials said.

Afghan border police commander in eastern Afghanistan, Aminullah Amarkhil, said that men were captured in a border police ambush in Nazyan district of Nangarhar province on Monday.

Mr Amarkhil said five of them are Pakistani civilians and one of them had a suicide vest.

He added that border police had received information about the terrorists before they crossed the border.

"Foreign Taliban, five of them Pakistani Taliban and two of them Afghans, came to Nangarhar and wanted to kill innocent people," Gen. Amarkhil said.

Mr Amarkhil said the border police also seized six weapons from the terrorists.

Militants often use burkas to carry out their attacks and some insurgents disguised in burqas have previously been captured by Afghan security organisations.
