ISLAMABAD .: A day after Pakistan Army said the air base attack in Badhaber was “planned and controlled” from Afghanistan, the Afghan presidency has strongly rejected the claim.

“We vehemently reject baseless claims that the attack in Peshawar was planned or controlled from Afghanistan,” the president’s deputy spokesperson Sayed Zafar Hashimi, said, according to Pajhwok Afghan News.

On Friday, DG Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) told a news conference in Pakistan had ‘evidence’ to substantiate that the attack on PAF base had links in Afghanistan.

“We have recordings, which reveal the attack was planned, executed and controlled from Afghanistan,” DG ISPR said while addressing the media in Peshawar, hours after the attack which left 29 dead.

Unlike the Ghani administration, Bajwa pointed fingers at TTP militants who now operate from the Afghan side of the border.

The Afghan foreign ministry issued a similar statement.

“No terrorist group will be allowed to use Afghan soil against neighbouring countries,” Afghan Foreign Ministry spokesperson Shakeb Ahmad Mustaghni told Afghan media on Saturday.

Pakistani Taliban leader Oman Mansoor, who spoke in a video along with a group of 14 militants, used Afghanistan’s cell number to contact media persons in Pakistan.

Everyone knows that Afghanistan is the hub of anti-Pakistan activity. Many anti-Pakistan terrorists have sought refuge in that country. They have training camps and are taught how to become suicide bombers. Expel every Afghan from Pakistan and close the border. More than half of the security problems will be resolved there and then. All talks should be put to an halt. Unless Afghanistan doesn't do more to remove anti-Pakistan scourge from their soil no progress can be made between these two nations.

May be we should kick pichwaraz of some media persons and get exact location where these terrorists are hiding. Some of them are famous for interviewing OBL and making money out of it.

nothing new.

 

[mourning sage]

the title had me jumping. its very misleading. For a moment, i thought, our army is planning a hot pursuit mission and Kabul has rejected any such possibility.

 

[I S I]

Congratulations to whole world. That means Afgan govt. now finally controls all of Afghanistan, thats how they know who is planning & who isn't.

Why don't we nuke Kabul? If not Kabul then at least Bomb Indian embassies based in Afghanistan.

 

[Bornubus]

Nation States never claims the responsibility of terrorist Non state actors do.Thus the name non state.

 

[Secret Service]

of course nobody will claim responsibility. some serious efforts are required.

Its such an irony.. The game Pakistan used to play is being played with it ... Has Afghanistan asked for proofs yet ?

 

[Mr304_AJ]

Afghanistan government are under Indian influence.India won't allow Afghanistan to solve their issue with Pakistan whether its cross border attacks,Afghan refugees or Durand Line.
Now its up-to Pakistan Government to make a clear and straight forward policy regarding Afghanistan.
Pakistan Army should carry out limited,Pin-point strikes in Militant hide across the border too..

They speak as if they have control of the entire Afghanistan. The eastern southern sides have strong taliban presence where ttp leader is also hiding and trying to orchestrate attacks like this. Don't get me wrong we should be prepared for this but the statement from afghanistan is almost laughable as they speak as if they control all of Afghanistan but the truth is there are various lawless areas in Afghanistan which the ana has yet to reclaim and these areas are being used by ttp.

We must be more firm in our approach against Afghanistan. After ahawal valley we must give Afghanistan an ultimatum. Either destroy all ttp hideouts and command centers or we will have to use drones and hot pursuit. We cannot sacrifice the safety of our people and army on the whims of a struggling govt who has yet to claim control of its entire country

Afghanistan needs to do more and target ttp as well as Taliban.
