Afghan authorities have arrested the leader of a gang accused of killing four foreign journalists in 2001, including two from Reuters, a police official said on Sunday. The suspect, identified as Zar Jan, was arrested after a shootout with police in Sarobi district, 50 km (30 miles) east of the capital, Kabul, on Saturday night, the official said. "Zar Jan was wounded by several bullets. He will be brought to Kabul today," said the police official, Feraidoon. The four journalists, including Australian television cameraman Harry Burton and Afghan photographer Azizullah Haidari of Reuters, were killed on Nov. 19, 2001, at Tangi Abrishum, about 90 km (55 miles) east of Kabul. They were both 33. Spaniard Julio Fuentes of El Mundo and Italian Maria Grazia Cutuli of Corriere della Sera were the other two victims, according to a report of Reuters.
