"We are investigating whether the five detained are the ones wanted by Pakistan," one of the Afghan officials told Reuters.
On December 16, the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan gunmen stormed into Army Public School in Peshawar killing 150, including 134 children, in the country's bloodiest massacre in years.

A second Pakistani official said that talks were underway with the government for the transfer of the five prisoners in Afghanistan to Pakistan.

Investigate Indian consulate in Kabul and they will lead you to actual terrorists!
Good step. Hopefully Pakistan follows the example.
We need five Haqqani Terrorists handed over as well. Please move forward with reigning in what is a state proclaimed banned terror organization.
This is a litmus test if the relationships have improved or not with Afghanistan.
The five arrested people in Afghanistan should be handed over to Pakistan for pending investigations in respect with the murders of 150 children and staff of APS Peshawar.
