Kabul, Aug 21 (IBNS): The Afghan criminal investigation department (CID) officials have foiled an explosion plan by militants in the national capital, local Khaama Press reported.

The agency quoted CID officials as saying that a large improvised explosive device (IED) was discovered under a culvert and diffused by the experts before the militants managed to detonate it.

No group has claimed responsibility thus far.

Roadside attacks are a frequent activity in Afghanistan with militants mainly targeting government and security officials.
