Tens of innocent people have reportedly killed and dozens others wounded, a suicide bomber blew his explosive packed vest inside a crowd in the neighboring country Pakistan.

The bomber targeted a heavily crowded gathering held by a political rally in Bajaur district, northwest of Pakistan bordering Afghanistan. The ISIS or Daesh branch of Khorasan province claimed responsibility for the bloody incident. Days after the incident, Pakistan state minister for foreign affairs, Hina Rabbani Khar, without exact information, said that those involved in the attack, were Afghan nationals. Some other officials of Pakistan, also blamed Kabul for involvement in the incident.

The most important thing is that how Pakistani intelligence agency fails to discover the fact and that which group or individuals are behind the incidents, which are repeatedly and uncontrollably happening in their country. Since the beginning of insurgency in the neighboring country, such incidents are repeatedly happening. Suicide attacks, taking place in various parts of Pakistan, with the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) claiming responsibility, are the clearest example that any insurgency are created, strengthened and supported by opposition groups inside that country.

But, Pakistan is still seeking excuses to blame, Afghanistan for its long unrests, as it cannot find other reasons, unless to point finger on Afghanistan to quench its fury and cover its failure against its internal insecurity and disorder.

Months ago, the neighboring country’s security officials warned to target militants’ hideout inside the Afghan borders, but faced full preparation by the security forces of the Islamic Emirate and this time it is still issuing statements against Afghanistan that the attackers were its nationals.

The Islamic Emirate once again rejected the allegations that Afghan citizens were involved in the attack on the country’s military base as well as in the latest incident that targeted the political gathering in that country. Undoubtedly, such claims are not in the interest of either country or their people and such baseless accusation should be avoided in order to not harm relations between the two nations.

The Islamic Emirate has long rejected its interference in the internal affairs of other countries and has said it would never allow others to interfere in the country’s affairs.

The neighboring countries, instead of falsely blaming each other, should restore relation and join hand to uproot terrorism and help the two nations live in peace and security.
