suicide bombers arrested in AfghanistanThe interior affairs ministry of Afghanistan for the the first demanded death penalty for the dozens of suicide bombers, who were arrested by Afghan security forces before they manage to carry out attacks.

The interior affairs ministry officials of Afghanistan said hundreds of militants and suicide bombers have been arrested across the country, who were looking to carry out attacks on main roads, bridges and other public institutions.

The demand by the interior ministry from the judiciary institutions comes amid growing efforts by president Hamid Karzai to pave the way for peace talks between the militant groups and the Afghan government in a bid to end the decade-old violence in the country.

Sediq Sediqi, spokesman for interior ministry of Afghanistan on Wednesday urged the judiciary institutions to show no mercy to the detained suicide bombers and called on the judiciary institutions to hang the detained bombers.

Mr. Sediqi further added that Afghan national security forces have given sacrifices to detain those bombers, and they should be sentenced to death as they are not caring for the lives of the ordinary Afghans and acting on foreingers instructions.

His comments were followed by a coordinated suicide attack attempt on the ministry of energy and water of Afghanistan, which was successfully thwarted by Afghan security forces.

He said Afghan security forces detained seven militants including two suicide bombers who were looking to carry out attacks in capital Kabul, and Afghan security forces seized two tons of explosives from the detained militants.
