Excerpt:
An Afghan official says police have arrested the suspected mastermind behind the attack on a UN compound that killed seven of the world body's foreign staff.
Rawof Taj, deputy police chief in Balkh province, said the suspected mastermind was from Kapisa province, a hotbed of the insurgency about 400 kilometres southeast of Mazar-i-Sharif, where the attack occurred.
Afghan protesters angered by the burning of a Koran by an obscure US pastor killed up to 20 UN staff, beheading two foreigners, when they overran a compound in a normally peaceful northern city on Friday in the worst-ever attack on the UN in Afghanistan.
