“On Saturday, U.S.-led coalition and Afghan troops caught 20 militants laying explosives along Kajaki Dam in southern Helmand province, a Defense Ministry spokesman, Gen. Mohammed Saher Azimi, said. Thousands of people live downriver from the dam.

Mashal said two of the other thwarted bomb attacks were planned car bombings in Ghazni and Paktika, two volatile provinces. The fourth was near the border with Pakistan, where two Pakistanis, suspected to be Taliban members, were found with explosives.”
