Afghan security arrests suspected bomber

Afghanistan’s intelligence agency said on Thursday it prevented a large terrorist attack in the capital, arresting a Pakistani national driving a truck packed with explosives in Kabul. The agency said in a statement that the man was arrested Thursday on a major road in the east of the city. It says the man was going to use the truck bomb in a suicide attack. The agency did not divulge what the suspected target was. It said it would release more details as they became available. The arrest comes a day after a suicide attack on the same road killed seven people. In that attack one militant detonated his car bomb outside a compound where foreigners live, while two other attackers fought their way inside before being killed.
