U.S. to probe Pakistan role in Kabul attack

WASHINGTON: The U.S. will “investigate” Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai’s allegation of involvement of Pakistan’s ISI in the recent terrorist attack in his country, including the bombing of Indian embassy, President George W. Bush has said.

“First of all, we’ll investigate his charge and we’ll work with his service...to get to the bottom of his allegation,” Mr. Bush told reporters here when asked about Mr. Karzai’s statement.

The U.S. President’s statement came days after U.S. Defence Secretary Robert Gates said there was no evidence available of Pakistan’s involvement in the attack on the embassy in Kabul last week. — PTI
