Pakistan rejects remarks attributed to PM Abbasi regarding Kabul attack

AVA- The Prime Minister House of Pakistan in a statement said “The remarks are simply baseless and have no reference to discussions with any media person.”

The statement further added that the relevant print media should carefully review the contents of discussions before reporting.

Speaking to Financial Times earlier PM Abbasi had said at least three to four people had crossed the border and a vehicle was taken to Kabul for the attack.

The Pakistani Prime Minister further added that he does not all the details but confirmed that the vehicle was parked in an embassy compound before it was detonated on 31st May.

No group including the Taliban insurgents has so far claimed responsibility behind the attack but the Afghan officials are saying that the Haqqani terrorist network based in Pakistan plotted and carried out the attack although the leader of the network in a voice message said today that the group has no role in the incident.

Over one hundred and fifty people lost their lives in the attack and hundreds more were wounded in the explosion which is considered as one of the deadliest attacks since the Taliban regime was toppled in 2001.
