Karzai Directly Blames Pakistan For Attacks

KABUL: Afghan President Hamid Karzai on Monday directly accused Pakistan’s intelligence agency of being behind a recent series of attacks by extremist Islamic militants that have killed scores of people.
Afghanistan has been hit by a wave of bloody unrest, including a militant assault on a military outpost Sunday that killed nine U.S. soldiers and a suicide attack on the Indian embassy a week ago that left 60 people dead.
“The murder, killing, destruction, dishonoring and insecurity in Afghanistan is carried out by the intelligence administration of Pakistan, its military intelligence institutions”, Karzai said in a statement.
“We know who kills innocent people,” the president said. “We have told the government of Pakistan and the world and from now on it will be pronounced by every member of the Afghan nation.”
Afghanistan regularly accuses Pakistan of supporting militants who have been waging a deadly insurgency in the nation since the 2001 ouster of the Taliban regime in a US-led invasion.
Karzai’s statement was however one of the harshest with the Islamic neighbors officially trying to repair a relationship strained by mounting extremist violence.
US officials also say that Pakistan has allowed Taliban and Al-Qaeda to regroup in its tribal areas along the border with Afghanistan.
But Pakistan rejects charges of supporting militants and says it is doing what it can to stop them.
