The Ministry of Interior Affairs of Afghanistan has rejected that a citizen of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) was arrested in connection to terrorist activities in Afghanistan.
According to a statement released by the Ministry of Interior (MoI), certain media agencies had mistakenly reported that a UAE citizen was arrested by Afghan security forces.
The statement further added that the detained individual was a member of the Taliban group who was arrested from Sar-e-Pul province of Afghanistan.
The Ministry also added that the suspect was arrested along with a stamp of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan ten days ago.
According to MoI, the case was thoroughly investigated, revealing that no UAE citizen was arrested by security fores.
This is the first time reports emerging regarding the detention of a UAE citizen in Afghanistan in connection to terrorism-related activities. Although, insurgents from the other countries, specifically from neighboring countries are actively operating in Afghanistan.
