KABUL - Afghan government on Wednesday has rejected the claims made by Pakistan Foreign Office that it had handed over 28 terrorists of Taliban and Haqqani network to Afghanistan.
“Pakistan has not handed over any members of these groups,” Afghan TV *TOLOnews* said quoting a source.
On Tuesday, Foreign Office Mohammad Faisal had said that Pakistan handed over 27 individuals suspected of having ties to Taliban and Haqqani network to Afghan officials last year.
Faisal said Pakistan continues to push any suspected Afghan Taliban and Haqqani elements with a view to “prevent them from using our soil for any terrorist activity in Afghanistan”.
The suspected insurgents were handed over to Afghanistan in November 2017, he had said.
