Foreign OfficePakistan rejects allegations regarding Kandahar attack

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: Pakistan has rejected baseless and unfounded allegations regarding the Kandahar attack, which resulted in deaths of top Afghan Officials.

“No hard evidence or intelligence related information has been shared to date with Pakistan to substantiate such claims,” said a press release issued by the Foreign Office in Islamabad on Wednesday.

October 18, a security guard of Kandahar Governor Zalmai Wesa opened fire at a high-level security meeting in Kandahar City, resulting in deaths of the governor, Police Chief General Abdul Raziq and the Provincial National Directorate of Security (NDS) Chief General Abdul Momin Hussainkhel. The US Forces Top Commander in Afghanistan General Scott Miller also attended the meeting; however, he remained unhurt.

Later on October 21, Kandahar governor’s advisor on social affairs Haji Agha Lalai Dastagiri alleged that one of the two main perpetrators behind the Kandahar attack has fled to Pakistan.

The Afghan Foreign Minister Salahuddin Rabbani also while talking to his Pakistani Counterpart Shah Mahmood Qureshi on phone demanded that Pakistan assist Afghanistan Kabul in identifying perpetrators of the attack.

However today, Pakistan’s Foreign Office rejected the allegations, and further said that “In the presence of elaborate mechanisms under Afghanistan-Pakistan Action Plan for Peace and Stability (APAPPS) to mutually and effectively address and investigate any such unfortunate incidents, it would have been more appropriate to invoke the relevant arrangement instead of resorting to media blame game which is contrary to the seven principles of cooperation agreed between the two sides, earlier this year.”
