Pakistan on Friday angrily rejected a report that its powerful spy service helped plan the deadly July 7 attack on the Indian Embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan.
American intelligence agencies have concluded that members of Pakistan's spy agency, the Directorate of Inter-Services Intelligence, or ISI, helped plan the bombing, according to United States officials, The New York Times reported in Friday's editions. | "The foreign newspapers keep writing such things against ISI, and we reject these allegations." |
"The government has already stated that there are no links or evidence of I.S.I. involvement in the Kabul bombing," Sherry Rehman, Pakistan's Information Minister, said.
A foreign ministry spokesperson, Muhammad Sadiq, was quoted by The Associated Press as describing the report as "total rubbish" and "baseless." |
