"The enemies of Afghanistan are behind this coward
attack. Attack on Mr. Mujadadi is an attack against peace in Afghanistan," the
President told journalists hours after the bloody bomb attack that left four
persons including the suicide bomber dead and wounded three others.
However, he avoided naming any country or individual,
saying "investigation would identify the terrorists involved in the crime."
On the other hand, Mujadadi openly pointed finger at
the neighboring country of Pakistan, saying Pakistani President Pervez Musharaf
and Pakistan's Inter Service Intelligence (ISI) are behind the attack.
"Musahraf and ISI are behind this conspiracy,"
Mujadadi told newsmen at a press conference.
Leader of Mushrano Jirga or the upper house of
parliament, the aged Mujadadi who received minor injures in his hands, added
that intelligence reports indicate Pakistan's involvement in the event. However,
he did not present any evidence to prove the claim.
In Islamabad, Pakistan's foreign ministry spokeswoman
has dismissed Mujadadi's charges as "baseless allegations."
Over 1,100 anti-government militants including
remnants of the former Taliban regime, according to officials, have given up
resistance and joined the peace process since the establishment of the Peace
Commission by Mujadadi nine months ago.
The aged and spiritual man, Mujadadi, has been calling on militants to lay down their arms and join the government. Enditem¡¡
