Afghan intel claims Pakistan implicated in Kabul attacks
2015-08-13
[DAWN] Afghanistan's intelligence agency claims Pakistain was involved in last week's attacks on Kabul
...the capital of Afghanistan. Home to continuous fighting from 1992 to 1996 between the forces of would-be strongman and Pak ISI/Jamaat-e-Islami sock puppet Gulbuddin Hekmayar and the Northern Alliance, a period which won Hek the title Most Evil Man in the World and didn't do much for the reputations of the Northern Alliance guys either....
that killed more than 50 people and maimed hundreds.

Hassib Sediqi, the front man for the National Directorate of Security
...the Afghan national intel agency...
, said Wednesday that Afghan authorities have confirmed "Pak military interference" in the attacks last Friday.

Sediqi says "special circles of the Pak military were behind all those attacks." He claims the Paks were working through the Haqqani network, one of the most brutal Lion of Islam groups in Afghanistan.

There was no immediate reaction from Islamabad, which has in the past denied such accusations from Afghanistan. Islamabad wields considerable influence over the Taliban, which have waged a 14-year war against Kabul.

The development comes soon after Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani

He worked at the World Bank working on international development assistance. As Finance Minister of Afghanistan between July 2002 and December 2004, he led Afghanistan's attempted economic recovery until the Karzais stole all the money. ..

forces.

Pakistain recently brokered a first round of peace talks between the Aghan government and the myrmidon group, which took place in Murree. But negotiations fell into jeopardy after the announced death of Taliban chief Mullah Omar
... a minor Pashtun commander in the war against the Soviets who made good as leader of the Taliban. As ruler of Afghanistan, he took the title Leader of the Faithful. The imposition of Pashtunkhwa on the nation institutionalized ignorance and brutality in a country already notable for its own fair share of ignorance and brutality...
According to Islamabad, a second round of peace talks has been postponed on the Taliban's insistence after confirmation of Mullah Omar's death sent the Lion of Islam group into a leadership crisis, with reports of internal conflicts on the issue of Omar's successor.
