KABUL (Pajhwok): Kabul police arrested on Sunday the son of lawmaker ​​Allah Gul Mujahid with an armored vehicle without a number plate and an unlicensed Kalashnikov assault rifle.

Ajmal Ahmadzai, police head for Kabul’s 12th police district, said on Sunday the MP’s son and his security guard were detained on Saturday when they opened fire on police during a search.
