Kabul (Afghanistan), May 11 (ANI): The National Directorate of Security (NDS) said in a statement that Haqqani Network had plotted suicide bombings in Kabul with the help of Lashkar-e-Taiba. Police said a travel agency called Shahir in Shahr-r-Naw area in downtown Kabul was the target of suicide attackers. It provided Indian visa services. At least seven people were killed, including two police, and 17 were wounded in the incident. Afghan interior minister indirectly blamed Pakistan for harbouring terrorists who carry out attacks in Afghanistan. Be it the Taliban Islamic State, Haqqani network or the Lashkar-e-Taiba they have sanctuaries near the Durand line inside Pakistani territory. On several occasions, Afghanistan has accused Pakistan of sheltering terrorists who carry out major attacks. However, Pakistan denies allegations of sending militants to Afghanistan.
