About 100 members of Hekmatyar's Hezb e Islami remain jailed as tensions rise with the Northern Alliance dominated by Tajiks. Officials said the arrests come amid ongoing attacks on Afghan security forces and international peacekeepers, with rocket fire and grenade incidents reported. Hekmatyar fled to Iran after 1996, but Tehran closed his Tehran offices and he is said to have returned to the region.
