Kabul : The five militants, who were found dead at a house in a Kabul locality after a shootout with security forces on Wednesday morning, have actually blown themselves up, intelligence officials said.
Earlier, security forces have said that all five, holed up in a house near the historical Baghe Babar, were killed in exchange of fire.
However, intelligence officials said they had blown themselves up to evade arrest by the security forces.
Neither the Interior nor Defence Ministry issued any comment on the battle in the western locality of this central capital.
On April, militants attacked a military parade which was attended by ministers and diplomats in addition to Afghan President Hamid Karzai.
A member of Afghanistan’s National Assembly and three more people were killed in the attack.
