Ghani also had a telephonic conversation with Pakistan’s Chief of Army Staff, General Raheel Sharif where he raised the issue and asked him to take serious measure in rooting out the terrorists involved in the attack.
Afghanistan’s accusation came in a statement from the country’s National Security Council, which met at the Presidential Palace for an extraordinary session on Thursday, reported Afghan news outlet Pajhwok.
Afghanistan’s President Ashraf Ghani on Thursday said that the attack on American University in Kabul was “organised and orchestrated” from Pakistan. Pakistan too complains of the cross-border terrorism, but the country has a bad reputation for allowing terrorist outfits, banned in neighbouring countries and by the United Nations, to operate on its soil.
The Army Chief has assured the Afghan President of all out cooperation on the availability of further information from Afghans.
Afghan authorities shared three mobile numbers with Pakistan, saying these numbers were in allegedly in contact with the assailants from inside Pakistan during the university attack, said a statement issued by Inter-Services Public Relations.
