Pakistan says Afghanistan has created conditions ‘similar to or worse than’ pre-9/11 attacks
Pakistan's president linked the Taliban regime to rising militant threats and said 31 were killed in a mosque bombing with 169 wounded, citing arrests of suspects including an Afghan national.
- On Sunday, Pakistan's president Asif Ali Zardari warned the Taliban regime in Afghanistan created conditions `similar to or worse than` pre-9/11 after Friday's suicide bombing at a Shiite mosque killed 31 worshippers and wounded 169.
- Pakistan frequently accuses the Afghan Taliban of backing militants and blames the former Taliban government for sheltering al-Qaida and allowing training camps before 2001.
- Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi said the bomber was Pakistani and trained by the Islamic State group in Afghanistan, and security forces arrested four suspects including an Afghan national, detaining the bomber's family members.
- Pakistan urged strong global measures and said Afghanistan's Defense Ministry and New Delhi rejected its allegations, calling Islamabad's links to the attack irresponsible.
- Observers warned that Pakistan's analysis suggests militants, including IS affiliates and Baloch groups, recruit entire families, amid rising violence. `Peace demands responsibility, not denial`, said Asif Durrani.
