Afghans Behind Instability in Pakistan, Evidence Submitted to Taliban, Says Pak Deputy FM

Pakistan’s deputy foreign minister Hina Rabbani Khar announced that Afghans are involved in the destabilisation of the country and Islamabad has shared its evidence with the Taliban.

Khar told Pakistan media outlets that even those Afghans who had entered the country with medical visas had taken part in some of the attacks against targets inside Pakistan.

On Wednesday, Khar added that Islamabad has evidence which show that Afghans are involved in terrorist attacks in Pakistan.

Pakistan's Foreign Ministry also said in a separate statement that Afghan citizens were involved in the deadly attack on an army base in Baluchistan province. In a statement on Wednesday, the ministry added that the attackers were residents of Kandahar province.

According to Pakistani media reports, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Pakistan has sent a letter to the Taliban-controlled Embassy in Islamabad and asked the representatives of the Taliban to receive the bodies of the three terrorists.

Last month, the Pakistani army issued a statement about the participation of Afghan citizens in attacks inside Pakistan and said that such attacks have become a grave concern for Islamabad.
