Pakistan on Friday angrily rejected a report that its powerful spy service helped plan the deadly July 7 attack on the Indian Embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan.
American intelligence agencies have concluded that members of Pakistan's spy agency, the Directorate of Inter-Services Intelligence, or ISI, helped plan the bombing, according to United States officials, The New York Times reported in Friday's editions. "The foreign newspapers keep writing such things against ISI, and we reject these allegations." | "The government has already stated that there are no links or evidence of I.S.I. involvement in the Kabul bombing," Sherry Rehman, Pakistan's Information Minister, said.
A foreign ministry spokesperson, Muhammad Sadiq, was quoted by The Associated Press as describing the report as "total rubbish" and "baseless." |
