Afghanistan's intelligence department has detained four Taliban insurgents behind a series of deadly attacks against foreign targets in the capital, Reuters quoted a spokesman for the agency as saying on Saturday. The National Department for Security (NDS) also arrested another Taliban group which planned to stage attacks in Kabul in coming days, Saeed Ansari told reporters. The first group was involved in five suicide attacks against foreigners in the city, including on the Indian embassy last year and another in February on a guest house used by Indian nationals. Scores of people, many of them Afghans, were killed. The attacks were planned from Pakistan, where the Taliban have sanctuary, Ansari said. "This group either managed to flee or went into hiding, but the vigilant officials of the NDS, with the help of people, managed to arrest them," he said. -- SPA
