Afghan security forces have seized more than 22 tonnes of explosives, enough to make hundreds of bombs, the interior ministry said on Tuesday, four days before a presidential election. Taliban insurgents have declared war on the elections (scheduled for April 05) calling them a Western-backed sham and threatening to disrupt the electoral process.
“This discovery will prevent hundreds of bomb attacks and would have a significant impact on the overall security of the elections,” Sediq Sediqqi, an Interior Ministry spokesman, told the media.
