KABUL, May 15 (Xinhuanet) -- Three persons carrying bombs and explosives were arrested by Afghan police in Sorobi district, 60 km east of Kabul on Saturday afternoon, officials said on Sunday.

    "Afghan police arrested three persons, including two Afghans and one Pakistan citizen, carrying four remote control bombs and one bag of explosive powder after fire fight," Lutfillah Mashal, the spokesperson for the Ministry of Interior Affairs told Xinhua.

    These arrested persons acknowledged that they wanted to attack on International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) and American forces on their way from Kabul to eastern city of Jalalabad, Mashal said.
