Kabul, Sep 11 (Xinhua/UNI) Afghan National Police arrested 22 individuals on suspect of being affiliated with terrorist groups in three provinces overnight on Tuesday, the country's Interior Ministry confirmed on Wednesday.

"The individuals, allegedly having link with the Taliban militant group and Haqqani terrorist network, were captured by Special Operations Police Force of Afghan National Police on Tuesday night, in the northern Faryab, southern Kandahar and eastern Maidan Wardak provinces," the ministry said in a statement.
