Afghanistan arrests five over Peshawar school attack

Afghan security forces have arrested five men suspected of involvement in last month's massacre at a school in Peshawar, an Afghan security source said Saturday. On Saturday an Afghan security source, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed to AFP that his force had recently made five arrests, after Pakistan supplied information to Kabul.
The official said the men, who were not Afghan nationals, were arrested in the troubled border areas between the two countries. They were accused by Pakistan of aiding the Peshawar school attackers, he said, insisting that the investigation by the Afghan security agencies had not yet established the suspects' direct association with the attack. Pakistani officials declined to immediately comment.
