Pakistan blamed - Indian Embassy bombing case

According to International Herald Tribune, a top Indian diplomat blamed Pakistan in the case of Indian embassy bombing in Kabul, Afghanistan. Indian Foreign Secretary Shivshankar Menon said that all the information collected from different sources points to elements of Pakistan behind this July 7 blast. However, he did not mentioned anything about the information. This comment of Mr Menon came weeks after Afghan President Hamid Karzai had given a hint that Pakistan's intelligence agency and the Inter-Services Intelligence were responsible for the bombing, which killed a minimum of 58 people.

To this comment, Foreign Ministry of Pakistan did not comment immediately, but has denied repeatedly of any involvement in the blast. Pakistan said that it wants stability there and healthy relations with India.

India and Pakistan have fought three wars since 1947 when the two countries were created by partition at independence from Britain. Apart from this embassy blast, relation between the two nations have been strained in recent months in exchanges of gunfire in Kashmir frontier. This region was the focus of the three wars.
