"Embassy bomb has hallmarks of spy agency"

"Embassy bomb has hallmarks of spy agency"

The bombing of the Indian Embassy in Kabul has all the hallmarks of a particular Intelligence agency that has a record of attacks in Afghanistan, a Government spokesman said on Tuesday.

Afghanistan has accused Pakistani agents of being behind a number of attacks in recent weeks and Afghan President Hamid Karzai threatened last month to send troops across the border to attack militants there if Pakistan did not take action.

"Everything has the hallmark of a particular Intelligence agency that has conducted similar terrorist acts inside Afghanistan in the past," Humayun Hamidzada told a News Conference a day after an attack that killed 41 people.

A suicide car bomb rammed into the gates of the Indian Embassy in Kabul on Monday, killing two Indian Diplomats and two Indian guards. Most of the other victims were people waiting in line for a visa and shoppers at a nearby market.

It was the deadliest attack in the Afghan Capital since U.S.-led and Afghan forces overthrew the Taliban in 2001.

"We believe firmly that there is a particular intelligence agency behind it," said Hamidzada. "I'm not going to name it anymore, I think it's pretty obvious."

Pakistan denies the Afghan accusations and strongly condemned Monday's attack.
