A man equipped with explosive devices and assault rifle was gunned down Wednesday, provincial police spokesman Wazir Badshah told Xinhua. "The man was attempting to enter Khost city the provincial capital to carry on suicide attack."
On Monday, Afghan police arrested two more would-be suicide bombers in the country's northern Balkh province.
The Taliban, fighting Afghan and the international troops since being ousted from power in 2001, vowed early this year to conduct more suicide attacks and roadside bombings against Afghan government and international troops across the country.
