The Afghan security forces have arrested a would-be suicide bomber in northern Kunduz province of Afghanistan, the security authorities said Thursday.
The detained would-be bomber has been identified as Dr. Mohammad Qasim and the Afghan security forces have confiscated a suicide bombing vest along with some weapons and explosives from the suspect.
No further details have been given regarding the suspect and the potential target he was looking to attack.
The anti-government armed militant groups have not commented regarding the capture of the suspect so far.
Kunduz is among the relatively volatile provinces in northern Afghanistan where anti-government armed militant groups are actively operating and frequently carry out insurgency activities.
The Taliban group launched a major attack by announcing their spring offensive in mid-April this year with an aim to recapture the strategic Kunduz.
However, the attack was repulsed by the Afghan security forces following days heavy gun battle between the two sides.
