CNews KABUL: Afghanistan lashed out at neighboring Pakistan on Monday and said it would not attend any of the meetings with Pakistan being participant until the restoration of derailed bilateral ties.
She accused Pakistan’s intelligence service and army being behind the bloody Taliban-led insurgency, calling the security forces the ``world's biggest producers of terrorism and extremism.''
The statement will likely strain already difficult relations between the two neighbors, whose shared porous border has become a safe-heaven for Taliban, al-Qaida and other militant groups, whose attacks have killed thousands and are threatening the stability of both countries.
In protest of what it called ``direct interference in its internal affairs,'' Afghanistan said it is suspending its participation in three upcoming meetings with Pakistani officials scheduled for the next few weeks.
The statement accused Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence of involvement in a number of recent attacks in the country an attempted assassination of President Hamid Karzai in April, the July7 suicide bomb attack outside Indian Embassy in Kabul that left over60 people killed and a spate of suicide bombings and roadside bombs blamed on Taliban militants.
