News Story: Unfair To Accuse Afghanistan Of Supporting Terrorism - Abdullah

The Cheif Exucutive Abdullah Abdullah at the Council of Ministers' meeting on Monday said “Afghanistan is a victim of terrorism and it is unfair to accuse the state of supporting terror and violence".

“The only solution in fight against terrorism is to cooperate [with the anti-terror campaign] and to stop supporting terrorism,” Abdullah said.

He added: “We are a victim of terror and it is unfair to accuse Afghanistan of supporting terror and violence.”

His comments come days after Pakistan claimed that insurgents hidden in Afghanistan planned last week’s attack at Lal Shahbaz Qalandar shrine in Sindh province which killed 75 people and injured nearly 300 others.
