An Afghan soldier has been detained with an explosive laden motorbike, local officials said.
The detained man was a soldier at Herat police headquarters in counter narcotics section.
Officials at Herat Police Headquarters said that the soldier was carrying several kilos of explosives and was planning to attack Afghan security forces in the province.
Western Herat has already been transitioned to Afghan forces.
Enemy infiltration into the Afghan security forces has been a big concern.
There have been many incidents of Afghan soldiers turning out to be enemy sleeping agents.
The concern has caused foreign troops in Afghanistan to keep half an eye on Afghan forces working with them.
