Murder of Rabbani: two held in Quetta: Afghan officials

Two Afghan officials say Pakistan has arrested two people in connection with last year's assassination of a former Afghan president who was trying to broker peace with the Taliban. The officials told The Associated Press in Kabul the two were recently detained in Quetta. There was no word in Pakistan on the arrests.
The Quetta police chief and the spokesman for Frontier Corps said they had not heard of the alleged arrests. All officials spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the case. Relations between Afghanistan and Pakistan soured after Afghan officials blamed Burhanuddin Rabbani's death on insurgents based in Pakistan.
