2017-07-27
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] The former Afghanistan's Caped President Hamid Maybe I'll join the Taliban Karzai
...A product, probably the sole product, of the Southern Alliance...
has called on Pakistain to abandon nurturing and supporting the terrorist groups after the deadly bombing Lahore city.

The Office of the former Afghanistan's Caped President in a statement said Karzai has expressed deep concerns regarding the casualties of the civilians and the terrorist attack in Lahore.

Calling the attack against the values of humanity and Islam, Karzai said Pakistain must abandon support to terrorist groups so that the region can live peacefully and specifically help Afghanistan and Pakistain to get rid of the menace of the terror.

He called on Pakistain to support Afghanistan and take honest steps to eliminate the menace of terrorism as he insisted on further improving relations with Pakistain.

Karzai further added that Paks are the brothers of the Afghan people and the Afghan nation shares the grief and sorrows of the people of Pakistain.

The attack in Lahore city, the scenic provincial capital of Lahore province of Pakistain left at least 26 dead and more than 50 others maimed.

The incident took place on Monday afternoon after a jacket wallah detonated his explosives near the security personnel.

The Taliban
...the Pashtun equivalent of men...
group in Pakistain, Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistain grabbed credit behind the deadly attack.

The remarks by Karzai came as the Afghan officials have long been criticizing Pakistain for allowing the Afghan myrmidon groups, specifically the Haqqani terrorist network to use its soil for planning and carrying out attacks in Afghanistan, a claim which has repeatedly been backed by numerous US government reports during the recent years and months.
