The would-be suicide attackers had been arrested from Yakabagh Afghania area on the outskirts of Shiberghan, the provincial capital, the deputy governor told Pajhwok Afghan News.
Eng. Abdul Rahman Mahmoodi said the detained individuals confessed to their crimes and said they were planning to mount attack on the governor office.
It is the second time the NDS arrested suspected bombers and prevented big sabotage acts, he added.
