Afghan law enforcing agencies have arrested two suicide bomber suspects in the restive Kandahar province in south Afghanistan, provincial governor Assadullah Khalid said Monday.
"Ali Ahmad, 20 and Abdul Zahir, 30 have been tasked to carry on suicide bombings in Kandahar province and were arrested in the border town of Spinboldak two days ago on Saturday," Khalid told a press conference in Kandahar city.
He also added that both are from the Quetta city of Pakistan.
Both were shown to newsmen and Ali Ahmad confessed that he came here to make Jihad or holy war against Afghan and foreign forces based in Afghanistan.
Kandahar became the scene of severe clashes between Taliban rebels and government forces last week during which more than 100 people including 94 insurgents had been killed.
