Karzai: Blackwater behind terrorism
At a press conference in Kabul, Karzai said that US security companies have been behind explosions that have claimed the lives of women and children.
The Afghan president added that they have caused "blasts and terrorism" in different parts of Afghanistan over the past months.
The Afghan president said his administration cannot even distinguish between the bomb blasts carried out by US security firms and those of the Taliban militants.
"In fact we don't yet know how many of these blasts are by Taliban and how many are carried out by them (US security companies)."
Blackwater has been involved in the murder of several Afghan citizens over the past years. The company has also been struggling with a trail of legal cases and civil lawsuits, including one for killing 17 Iraqi civilians during a Baghdad shootout in 2007.
Earlier in June, the CIA reportedly admitted that Blackwater had been loading bombs on US drones that target suspected militants in neighboring Pakistan.
The Afghan president has also pointed out that American private security firms are corrupt and have fueled nine years of war.
"Deals under the name of private security companies are cut in the hallways of American government buildings. It involves 1.5 billion dollars," he said.
Karzai has accused security companies of running what he called an economic mafia based on crooked contracts.
"The money, 1.5 billion dollars, is being distributed there (in the United States) on Blackwater [sic] and this and that."
The developments come as the notorious Blackwater has been awarded a five-year State Department contract worth up to USD 10 billion for operations in Afghanistan.
In August, Karzai ordered all security firms to disband before the end of the year.
Some diplomats and military officials say Karzai has been under intense pressure to reconsider his decision.
However, Karzai says he is steadfast in his decision to dissolve foreign security firms in the country despite US pressure to reconsider the decision.
The private companies are said to be in charge of providing security for foreign officials and embassies as well as development projects in Afghanistan.
Karzai has blamed mercenaries for civilian deaths and corruption in the troubled region.

There are no apologists for the LeJ, they have been active in aiding & supporting Al-Qaeda & the TTP, not in Afghanistan, but in Pakistan.

Its all Pakistan's fault ( That's what the Media will say ) then who is killing Shia in Iraq ? or in protest in Qatar -
Its all Saudi Arab and Iran fault they fund Shia and Sunni all over the world with their oil money , Pakistan is also a victim of their money fueling hate.
Lebanon and Palestines are also divided in Shai Sunni , So don't blame Pakistan for this globe hate.

Nah, because in that situation, the LeJ wouldn't be claiming responsibility for the attacks, as it puts Pakistan in a disadvantaged position.
Mods, can you please merge this thread with this one:

It has been claimed by Lashkar-e-Jhangvi al Almi, aparently a faction of LeJ and they operate from tribal areas of Pakistan, not Punjab.
Even if it based in Pakistan's tribal areas, it is not possible for them to conduct such coordinated attacks deep inside Afghan territory without getting caught, scattered from Eastern Afghanistan, Northern Afghanistan & Southern Afghanistan, simultaneously. It would be difficult for even the Taliban to pull this off. And even if the LeJ al Almi has a presence in Afghanistan, it plays second fiddle to the Al-Qaeda there, meaning it is more likely for the Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan to pull this off than LeJ al Almi.

Yes you are offering apologies, read your below post, purely conjectural, but offers certificate of innocence to your boys! What next, not possible for Ajmal Kasab from deep punjab to have participated in coordinated mumbai attacks? I've already posted admission from your then interior minister that these orgs are linked to AQ and operate in Afghanistan. No amount of offering apologies will change that.

Yar what is it anyone can call and claim the responsibility .Y do they always call americans to tell them that they did it.
WHATS THE point in doing that................or all of this crap comes out of America to fulfill there needs.
First it was Haqqani network and now it is LEJ network (which is mostly dismentled ) and next will be it will be some other one .
American have fooled the world a million times and they are going to do it this time as well.But we give a hoot .They are trying to subdue Pakistani pressure on them after Nato Attack.

Instead of quoting wikipedia, could you maybe quote me a few news reports from reliable sources that show LeJ has an active presence in Afghanistan, & that they were responsible for terrorism inside Afghanistan before today? I've never heard of the LeJ having a presence in Afghanistan, only in FATA.
There is a difference between the 26/11 Mumbai attacks & the attacks today. Today, three coordinated attacks took place in Northern Afghanistan, Southern Afghanistan & Eastern Afghanistan simultaneously, & it is not possible that the LeJ could have done this without getting detected in Afghanistan. It would have been difficult for even the Taliban to pull this off.
