Pakistan condemns Kabul bomb attack on Indian embassy |
The Pakistan Government on Thursday condemned
the car bomb attack outside the Indian Embassy in Kabul, saying elements in Afghanistan
were intent on sabotaging the peace efforts initiated by allied forces. Foreign
Office spokesperson Abdul Basit told media persons here that some elements in
Afghanistan were trying to damage relations between New Delhi and Islamabad. Commenting
on today's bombing, Basit said the incident would not affect cooperation between
India, Pakistan and Afghanistan in their fight against terrorism.] The bombing
outside the India Embassy claimed the lives of 17 people and injured over 80,
including three ITBP personnel who were guarding the embassy. Basit claimed that
Pakistan opposed terrorism in all its forms and manifestations and added that
terrorism, wherever it occurs, cannot be condoned or justified under any circumstances.
He maintained that Pakistan is determined to fight terrorism and added that it's
actions and sacrifices speak for themselves. In July 2008, over 41 people, including
an Indian diplomat and a Brigadier were killed in a car bomb blast near the Indian
Embassy in Kabul. Then Indian Government had then accused the Pakistan's Inter-Services
Intelligence (ISI) agency of having role in the attack. |
