NEW DELHI, July 12 (KUNA) -- India Saturday stressed that it had credible
inputs about Pakistans involvement in last Mondays suicide attack on the
Indian embassy at Kabul, which killed 54 including diplomats.
"The government not only suspects but has a fair amount of intelligence on
the involvement of Pakistan on the attack on our mission in Kabul," Indian
National Security Advisor M K Narayanan told the countrys news channels here
this evening.
"Pakistans Inter Services Intelligence needs to be destroyed. India has
made this point, whenever it had a chance, to interlocutors across the globe.
There might have been some tactical restraint in the past, that restraint no
longer exists," he asserted.
Two days back Indian Army Chief Gen Deepak Kapoor also hinted at ISIs role
in the Kabul attack.
The dead in the July 7 attack included India's Defence Attache to
Afghanistan Brig. R D Mehta, Counsellor in Kabul mission V V Rao, security
personnel Ajai Pathaniya and Roop Singh. One of the Afghan staff members at
the Embassy, Niamatullah was also killed in the attack. Others included
students from a school in the vicinity of the Mission, and Afghan nationals
who had come to the Embassy for securing visas.
It was the worst suicide attack in Afghanistan since the downfall of
Taliban in 2001. It was also the major terror attack on any Indian mission
abroad. (end)
