Lashkar behind Kabul attack: Afghan official
AGENCIES, Mar 3, 2010, 09.48am IST

KABUL: Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba, responsible for the Mumbai terror attack, was on Tuesday blamed by an Afghan intelligence official for last week's car bomb and suicide attacks that killed 16 people, including 9 Indians, in the heart of the capital.

The Afghan Taliban insurgents already claimed responsibility for the attacks after a car bomb exploded and gunmen wearing suicide vests hidden under burqas stormed residential hotels popular with foreigners. At least 56 people were wounded.

Saeed Ansari, a spokesman for Afghanistan's intelligence service, said that his agency has evidence that Pakistanis, specifically Lashkar-e-Taiba, were involved in the attacks.

"We are very close to the exact proof and evidence that the attack on the Indian guest house ... is not the work of the Afghan Taliban but this attack was carried out by Lashkar-e-Taiba network, who are dependent on the Pakistan military," Ansari said in an interview.

He also said one of the attackers was heard speaking Urdu.

Ansari said last week's Kabul attacks bore similarities to two suicide bombings at the Indian embassy in Kabul in 2008 and 2009 and the car bomb attack in January at a residential hotel in one of the safest neighborhoods in the capital.

Police said initially that two suicide attackers were involved in Friday's attack.

Ansari told three private television stations that there were four gunmen with Kalishnokov rifles and suicide vests and that they wore burqas, the all-encompassing veil for women, to hide their gear.

He said one attacker stayed to detonate a van packed with explosives, while the other three spread out and entered two hotels, where they fired on guests and then set off their explosives.

On Friday, about 2 1/2 hours after the attacks began, an Afghan Taliban spokesman telephoned a reporter with The Associated Press to claim responsibility. He said foreigners were the target, but did not specifically mention Indians.

Ansari, however, said the Taliban did not have the logistical capability for the assault, saying the gunmen appeared to have detailed knowledge, including names, of Indian guests at the hotels.

He also claimed the Taliban "had no knowledge" of the Kabul attacks up to five hours after they began.

Friday's assault was the deadliest in Afghanistan's capital since October 8, when a suicide car bomber killed 17 people outside the Indian embassy.

A suicide car bomber killed more than 60 people in an attack at the gates of the Indian Embassy in July 2008, an attack that India alleges Pakistan's main spy agency was involved in.

But New Delhi did not immediately blame Pakistan after Friday's assault.

Not at all these are not your assets. By going your theory every other nation from NATO and other countries will start claiming the development work they had done in Afghanistan, as their assests and would send troops to protect that.



Be realistic and do admit that India is desperate to get a foothold in Afghanistan for its political agenda.

Yes....

Now? What's gonna happen? Development work is still going on. If we are providing school some protection what is wrong in it. Some guy on this forum by mistake called roads as our asset and you are claiming to be realistic? Please try harder, First of all you jump evertime with stupid claims and don't provide any backup (authentic). Secondly, why don't Pakistan stop India from all this build ups? falling short?

 

[Spring Onion]

may I know what other country is investing in Afghanistan as much as India?

May I know how old are you? Should I even make you understand the difference between tangible and In Tangible assets?

Tangible assests could only be your consulates not Afghan schools or hospitals.

And go google for who is investing or giving in aid to Afghanistan other than India.


Another question is why India is not investing in Sri Lanka, or BD or even in own North East India instead ot going to a foreign land???????

 

[sab]

bwahahahah. You can claim the machinery and human resource as INDIAN assets but claiming the schools, hospitals and so on in Afghanistan as INDIAN assets is a childish bluff.



The difference between India and Pakistan is that we DO NOT mince words about our strategic interests viz a viz Afghanistan whereas Indians are trying to bluff the world by claiming OH we are there in Love of Afghans.

BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH.....

Rather your desperation shows how much you are afraid of a prosperous Afghanistan.....
Yes any decision of helping a neighbour is a political decision and you took to much time to understand it.....Ask your good taliban friends to attack RAW sponosored training camps, not Shopping Malls or Hospitals.....OOPS they dont know where are the camps.........

well dear i said it before too that OK protecting your Indian human resource is understandable, as well as protecting schools (if India realy intends to do that) BUT calling Afghan schools, roads, kicthens farms as Indian assests is just either laugable or just a cover up.


And oh NO we dont need to stop anyone from building ups infrastructure in Afghanistan


The future belongs to the locals there NOT to foreigners

Embassy are tangible, School is indeed an intangible asset for us... Imagine the benifit India would get by Educating them... they will not engage in terrorism, they will shape there mother land in a good way. Now there is no use arguing with a person who has already made up his mind as to not accept the facts.

Oh god, India is among the top five overall investors in Sri Lanka, bangla desh(more than whats invested in Afghanistan) and I as a winds resource analyst know How east India recovering.

Now go back and find where India claims Afghan schools,hospitals and roads are Indian assets

You create those sh*t yourself and giving arguments against them.....

 

[H2O3C4Nitrogen]

I guess India should send its troops to Afghanistan , coz in that way India will be compelled to cooperate with Pakistan too...!

why India is not investing in Sri Lanka, or BD or even in own North East India instead ot going to a foreign land???????[/B]

well USA want a strong peace loving Afghan country as your neighbor and both India and Pakistan are doing good work

as Pakistan don't want more number of Indian force there that why Indian govt not allowing there force

Pakistan has a serious concern if Afghan stand as a strong powerful nation then it can be problem for Pakistan because Afghan claim on few Pakistani area as there land

 

[gen x]

few Pakistani think a strong afghan nation is not good for health of Pakistan
