HERAT CITY: Local officials in eastern province Herat said that the unauthorized landing of a Qatari plane at Herat airport has angered President Mohammad Ashraf Ghani.<\/p>\n
Mohammad Asef Rahimi, Governor of Herat, said that a few days ago a plane carrying 10 armored vehicles and foodstuff landed at Herat airport without any prior coordination with local officials in the province.<\/p>\n
The governor said that the president following the incident, became outraged and fired the controlling responsible individuals at the Herat airport.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Rahimi further said that six Herati citizens who have facilitated the landing were arrested by the police at the airport.<\/p>\n
The reason for the unauthorized landing of the plane has not been identified yet but soon a delegation comprised of members from several ministries would probe into the incident.<\/p>\n
There have been assumptions that individuals from Arabic countries have decided to come for hunting in the western provinces of the country and they carried their hunting tools with themselves.<\/p>\n
Last year a number of Arabs too came to Herat at the request of Mohammad Ismail Khan, former minister of water and energy and then traveled to Farah province for hunting purposes.<\/p>\n
