Afghanistan's intelligence agency said  it had precluded an assassination attempt on Vice-President Abdul Rashid Dostum in the Jawzjan province.

A suicide bomber who hid a bomb on the back of a horse was meant to have carried out the assassination. The ploy used by the bomber was to look like a harmless spectator and detonate the bomb during a buzkashi match.
