Afghan Government Blames Pakistan in Attacks
The Afghan government has accused Pakistani intelligence of being behind a string of militants attacks which have killed scores in Afghanistan.

Attacks include a suicide bombing which killed more than 50 at the Indian embassy a week ago.

"We know who kills innocent people," President Hamid Karzai said in a statement.

Afghan officials have frequently blamed Pakistan for attacks in the past. Pakistan denies involvement.

'Murder'

In an uncompromising resolution, the Afghan council of ministers said Pakistani intelligence was killing Afghans and foreigners across the country.

It accused Pakistan's ISI intelligence agency of openly and directly interfering in Afghan affairs.

The resolution said that the ISI had plotted the attack on the Indian embassy.

It was the bloodiest attack inside the Afghan capital since the 2001 fall of the Taleban.

The Pakistani government has denied any involvement in the incident, saying it is not in its interests to destabilise Afghanistan.

"The murder, killing, destruction, dishonouring and insecurity in Afghanistan is carried out by the intelligence administration of Pakistan, its military intelligence institutions," Mr Karzai said.

Afghan ministers also accused Pakistani intelligence of planning an assassination attempt on President Karzai last April, as well as a host of other recent attacks.
