Pakistan fires back at Kabul over Rabbani death claim

China Daily | Updated: 2011-10-04 07:53

ISLAMABAD - Pakistan has angrily rejected claims by Afghan officials that its intelligence agency masterminded the assassination of Kabul's chief peace negotiator with the Taliban.

An investigative delegation established by Afghan President Hamid Karzai said evidence and a confession from a man involved in Burhanuddin Rabbani's killing on Sept 20 revealed the bomber was Pakistani and that the assassination was plotted by the Afghan Taliban's leadership, the Quetta Shura, in Pakistan.

"Instead of making such irresponsible statements, those in positions of authority in Kabul should seriously deliberate why all those Afghans who are favorably disposed toward peace and toward Pakistan are systematically being removed from the scene and killed," Pakistan's foreign ministry said in a statement. "There is a need to take stock of the direction taken by Afghan intelligence and security agencies."
