KABUL – Authorities have arrested eight people, including one in Saudi Arabia, in connection with this week’s deadly attack on a guest house used by United Nations employees, the Afghan intelligence chief said Saturday. He said those arrested claimed the assailants came from Pakistan’s Swat Valley.

Amrullah Saleh also told reporters that Afghan intelligence had advance information that a Taliban attack in Kabul was in the works but was expected during rush hour. Instead, the attackers struck just before dawn Wednesday, killing eight people — five of them United Nations foreign staffers. The three assailants also died.
