Afghan President Hamid Karzai on Monday accused a pro-pakistan Kashmiri rebel group Lashkar-e-Taiba(LeT) of being behind last week’s attack by gunmen on an Indian diplomatic mission in the west of his war-torn country.
On the eve of talks between India’s new Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Pakistani counterpart Nawaz Sharif, Karzai blamed the LeT for Friday’s attack on the consulate in Herat, the latest in a string of assaults on Indian targets in Afghanistan.
Although there were no casualties among Indian staff, at least two policemen were wounded when the heavily-armed attackers stormed a house close to the consulate and opened fire on the building in a pre-dawn assault that was eventually repelled by security forces.
