PUL-I-ALAM (Pajhwok): Two district attorneys have been detained on charges of taking bribes in central Logar province on Tuesday, a reliable source said.

The source confided to Pajhwok Afghan News on condition of anonymity that the attorneys were caught red-handed while receiving thousands of dollars in bribes.
