Lashkar-i-Jhangvi denies hand in Afghan blast

[53fd]

PESHAWAR: Militant group Lashkar-i-Jhangvi al-Alami (LJA) denied on Thursday it was involved in the Kabul suicide attack and condemned the carnage.

At least 55 people were killed and scores injured in the attack outside a shrine in the Afghan capital. Another four people died in a bomb blast in the Afghan city of Mazar-i-Sharif the same day.

A man claiming to be a spokesman for the LJA and identifying himself as Abu Bakar Mansoor reportedly called some media outlets hours after the bombings to inform that the Kabul attack had been carried out by his group.

However, a person, purported to be a representative of the LJA, told Dawn by phone on Thursday that enemies of Pakistan and Afghanistan were behind the bloodshed.

And there goes the 'evidence' Afghanistan had against Pakistan. The Taliban in Afghanistan have denied it, & the LeJ al Almi has denied it too. Afghanistan has nothing to hold Pakistan responsible for.

Well, if you do not have evidence implicating Pakistan, or anything to hold Pakistan accountable for, the fault lies at your end. It is much more likely that the AQ or Taliban in Afghanistan carried out this attack than an obscure group that has never attacked Afghanistan before (& such a large scale one too).

Although Laskar Jhangvi is not Pakistan's friend but they don't have the support and resources to carry out attacks in Afghanistan.
Dont Afghanistan has any its soil based prob? or all have been solved by Karzai and US by killing thousands.

The blame may have been taken by any anti Pakistani intelligence agency to put Pakistan on defensive mode.

I am not implicating Pakistan, it's the US and Afghanistan gov. Let them do their part and Pakistan do it's part; who are we both meddling in this? At last who ever was really behind this should be punish hard.

It's only Karzai baselessly accusing Pakistan. He has admitted he/the Afghan government has no proof. The US government has not even accused Pakistan.

When did he accused Pakistan? he said that Lashkar-e-Jhangvi has taken the responsibility and it's located in Pakistan but now don't give me polished media links or else I will find the video and translate his speech to you.

He made the allegations that the attacks were planned & came out from Pakistan (& he said he'd confront Pakistan over that), even though he does not have any proof that they did. Just like in the Rabbani case.

Err...if you people will not believe some 'random guy' calling up and claiming that LeJ was behind the attack, then why should you people believe another 'random guy' who calls up and says LeJ did not do ? Does this second random guy become credible while the former does not ?

In any case, a murder accused when he says he has committed the murder has more chance of telling the truth than when he denies murdering anyone.

Maybe LeJ liked to brag about their trophy, but seeing the reactions were advised by their higher ups (you-know-who) to quietly withdraw the claim.

now no bastard will believe this sh1t . they only believe in claims

Err...if you people will not believe some 'random guy' calling up and claiming that LeJ was behind the attack, then why should you people believe another 'random guy' who again calls up and says LeJ did not do ?

If this is how things were resolved, then why did Afghanistan & the US get conned by con-artists claiming to be close confidants of Mullah Omar in Afghanistan. Your theory does not hold any water. Any one can make a phone call alleging to be something, there is no way to verify such dubious claims.

What you say makes no sense. Simple question - how did the second random caller become more credible than the first caller in your view ?

There is a beginning to everything. And by Taliban do you mean the 'legitimate-rulers-goody-goody' ones ? Afghanistan is not 1000 miles away..All they need are few innocent Shias and some explosives. Kaboom.

As I've mentioned before, this was purely a sectarian clash in Afghanistan and had nothing to do with any group in Pakistan. Karzai needs a scape goat and what better than pointing a finger at Pakistan and that too WITHOUT PROOF?

On the one hand he says that he'll come to Pakistan's aid if ever it is 'attacked' by anyone and on the other he never hesitates to blame Pakistan for every terror attack inside Afghanistan! WTF? He needs to see a shrink, pronto!

Neither are credible. The Afghan govt has no evidence the attacks were planned from Pakistani soil.
