The Ministry of Interior (MoI) in a statement said the Kabul police forces arrested the six suspects during a raid which they conducted last night.
The statement further added that the suspects planned to carry out another attack on security posts in Mir Bacha Kot district at around 11 pm local time.
The group was led by Gul Padshah, the shadow district chief of Taliban group for Qarabagh district of Kabul, the Ministry of Interior added.
The Taliban group has not commented in this regard so far.
The anti-government armed militants destroyed a transmission tower in capital Kabul late on Sunday night and disrupted the supply of electricity to the capital.
The militants had earlier destroyed a transmission tower in northern Baghlan province few days ago which halted the supply of electricity to Kabul and some other provinces.
