NEW DELHI – Afghanistan’s ambassador to India Dr Shaida Abdali calledTaliban attack in Kabul a genocide and insisted Pakistan had declared waron the Afghan people.
“More than 100 people killed in one terror attack. The car came from acrossthe Durand Line. This is nothing short of genocide,” he said in anexclusive and hard-hitting interview to India Today TV.
An angry Afghanistan has confronted Pakistan with proof of its complicity.
Afghanistan President Dr Ashraf Ghani sent Afghanistan’s interior ministerand spy chief to Islamabad with proof of Pakistan’s Inter-ServicesIntelligence’s (ISI) direct role in the terror attacks.
“The interior minister and NDS chief were sent to share evidence ofPakistan’s role in the Kabul terror attacks. The evidence is clear. Theterror attack was directed from Pakistan to blow up the Afghan MilitaryAcademy and target the Intercontinental Hotel,” Dr Abdali added.
Afghanistan has urged the international community to unite and tellPakistan not to use terror as state policy. The attacks on Afghanistan haveincreased after the US announced a new policy for South Asia.
“These attacks are Pakistan’s response to the new US policy,” said DrAbdali.
In response to Pakistan’s claims that it had handed over 27 suspectedTaliban terrorists of the Haqqani network to Kabul as a mark of cooperationin the war on terror, Dr Abdali hit back saying “tactical moves from timeto time have not given results.”
“Pakistan needs to stop training terrorists. Close the training grounds andthe safe sanctuaries to terrorists in Pakistan. And they must show to theAfghan people and the international community that they have taken action.”
Afghanistan has launched a major offensive, from New Delhi to WashingtonDC, to expose the Pakistan state’s role in training, arming and launchingterrorists into Afghanistan.
