Taliban police have arrested a suspect in connection with a vehicle attack that injured at least three girls in Kabul.
The incident took place on 17 Jawza in the sixth security district when a white Land Cruiser without license plates struck a group of girls who had attended a seminar. The vehicle also hit a cyclist during the attack.
Khalid Zadran, spokesman for the Kabul Security Command, announced that the perpetrator was detained along with the vehicle nearly eight days after the event. The arrest followed the circulation of video footage of the incident online.
Authorities stated that the suspect remains under legal investigation and that necessary procedures are ongoing. No details have been released about the individual's identity or any possible motive for the attack.

Reliability assessment
Three independent sources corroborate the core event of the arrest announcement by Taliban police. Named spokesperson Khalid Zadran provided on-record confirmation in two sources; video evidence and incident details are consistently referenced.
The source language mixes facts with framing or advocacy wording. Khaama Press: "severe restrictions on education, public movement, and participation in social life", "intensified concerns among rights groups about their safety and visibility", "increased social vulnerability" — these phrases frame the incident within a broader narrative of systemic oppression and societal failure using opinionated advocacy language.
