Afghan presidential spokesman blames foreign intelligence agency for Kabul blast

The Associated Press ,  Kabul   |  Tue, 07/08/2008 7:51 PM  |  World

President Hamid Karzai's spokesman says Afghan officials have "sufficient evidence" to say that
Pakistan's intelligence agency was behind the bombing of the Indian Embassy that killed 41 people.

Humayun Hamidzada says the "sophistication of this attack and the kind of material that was used, the specific targeting, everything has the hallmarks of a particular agency that has conducted similar attacks inside Afghanistan."

Hamidzada did not name Pakistan's intelligence agency but told reporters Tuesday that the name is "pretty obvious."

Monday's bombing tore open the front gates of the Indian Embassy, killing 41 people and wounding some 150.(**)
