Afghan authorities hint at ISI hand in Indian mission attack

“The sophistication of this attack and the kind of material that was used, everything has the hallmarks of a particular agency that has conducted similar attacks inside Afghanistan. We have sufficient evidence to say that,” he said.

A report prepared by the Afghan Ministry of Defence said terrorists had entered the country after receiving training and logistical support from across the border, an obvious reference to Pakistan.

“The terrorists no doubt could not have succeeded in launching such an atrocity without full support of foreign intelligence,” according to a summary of an Afghan cabinet meeting chaired by Karzai.

Pakistan Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani, currently visiting Malaysia, rejected reports linking his country’s intelligence agency with the suicide bombing in Kabul.
