| Afghan Ambassador in Islamabad Dismisses Accusations Against Pakistan | |
| 2011-05-17 | |
[Tolo News] While senior Afghan officials and international community have accused Pakistain of having close links with terrorists, the Afghan ambassador to Islamabad has dismissed the claims.
The death of the late Osama bin Laden ... he's rotten though not quite forgotten... in Pakistain, the biggest breakthrough in the drama of counterterrorism fight, has led to widespread concerns among Afghan and international officials, especially about the fact that al-Qaeda leader was found living for several years in the territory of a close ally of the US in the war on terror. National Directorate of Security (NDS) Spokesman has earlier said bad turban leaders organise and sketch their devastating and deadly attacks in direct cooperation from Pakistain's military intelligence organisation on the other side of Afghan borders. "All activities are organised by Serajuddin Haqqani, Salahuddin Haqqani and Badruddin Haqqani with direct cooperation of Pakistain's Inter-Services Intelligence and al-Qaeda network. We believe that they are either in Quetta, Bloody Karachi or in Miranshah," NDS Spokesman Lotfullah Mashal told a recent presser. But newly appointed Afghan ambassador to Pakistain, Mohammad Omar Daudzai, has dismissed allegations about Pakistain government's involvement in some bad turban attacks. "Some of the suicide kabooms and other bad turban operations in Afghanistan are planned on the other side of Afghan border, but they are not necessarily directed by Pak government, army or intelligence agency," Mohammad Omar Daudzai has told TOLOnews news hound in Islamabad. Experts say contradicting comments of Afghan officials could raise questions about connection of leading Afghan officials with neighbouring countries. A member of parliament Dr Zahir Sadat said it is surprising that "high-ranking Afghan officials, including the president and foreign minister made their comments clearly, but the Afghan ambassador in Islamabad dismisses the comments." The comments come as the death of Osama bin Laden in the heart of Pakistain in an operation by US special forces was more than a shock to the world considering the cozy location the leader of al-Qaeda was living in for nearly a decade without apparently being detected. | |
