Afghan President Hamid Karzai today slammed “cowardly foreign agents hired by our historical enemy,” a clear reference to Pakistan, in comments about Wednesday’s Kunar Province bombing.
The bombing saw 10 tribal leaders allied to the Karzai government killed and a number of others wounded. The talks were part of an ongoing discussion with former mujahideen members, and the latest in a growing number of attacks in the province, which borders Pakistan.
Afghan and US officials have regularly blamed the Pakistani government for attacks in the nation.
