Hundreds arrested in connection with plot to undermine Afghan regime

Hundreds of people were arrested in Kabul in connection with an alleged plot to destabilise the interim administration installed by the UN.

Officials in Afghanistan have revealed that hundreds of people have been arrested in Kabul in the past week in connection with an alleged plot to destabilise the interim administration installed by the United Nations last year.

The Afghan Interior Ministry said the plot included plans to detonate bombs throughout the capital in an attempt to undermine the new Government, led by Prime Minister Hamid Karzai.
