KANDAHAR (Pajhwok): Security forces at Ahmad Shah Baba International Airport in Kandahar have foiled an attempt to smuggle 159 historical coins out of the country and arrested a suspect, the Ministry of Interior said.
In a statement, the ministry said the coins dated back to the reigns of former Afghan kings, including Amanullah Khan, Nader Shah and Mohammad Zahir Shah.
The ministry added that the coins were discovered and seized as the suspect attempted to take them abroad illegally.
It said the suspect would be referred to judicial authorities, along with the seized coins, after the investigation was completed.
