| Police in Afghanistan have arrested two men over their alleged role in deadly attacks in the capital, Kabul. One of them - Tajik national Mohammed Haidar - admitted organising the attack last August against US security company Dyncorp, Afghan television said. The TV report said Mr Haidar had admitted taking $7,000 from an al-Qaeda operative in Pakistani to pay for a car and explosives. Ten people were killed in the car bomb attack, including three Americans. The second suspect was detained for his part in a bombing in Kabul in October which killed one woman and a child, the television said. It is not clear when the men were detained. Dyncorp provides bodyguards for President Hamid Karzai and trains the new Afghan police force. |
