Police in the Afghan capital Kabul city shot dead a would-be suicide attacker before he could reach his target, obviously, a peaceful rally on Monday, police spokesman, Hashmat Stanimzai, said.
“A suicide bomber had intended to blow himself up among peaceful demonstrators in Shahr-e-Naw park Monday morning but fortunately was identified and gunned down by the police before reaching his target,’’ Stanikzai told newsmen.
Hundreds of supporters of First Vice-President Gen. Abdul Rashid Dustom were gathered in Shahr-e-Naw park to express their support for Dustom and demand the release of his aide Nizamudin Qisari, who was arrested some two weeks ago.
According to the police, the would-be suicide bomber was badly injured in police shooting and has been taken to the hospital.
