An Afghan official says police have arrested the suspected mastermind behind the attack on a U.N. compound that killed seven of the world body's foreign staff.
Rawof Taj, deputy police chief in Balkh province, said Friday he was one of more than 20 people arrested after the attack.
Taj said the suspected mastermind was from Kapisa province, a hotbed of the insurgency about 250 miles (400 kilometers) southeast of Mazar-i-Sharif, where the attack occurred.
The Norwegian Defense Ministry said one of the victims was Lt. Col Siri Skare, a 53-year-old female pilot. A Swede and four U.N, guards from Nepal were also killed. The nationality of the seventh has not released.
