Attack on Mujadadi seen as anti-peace

    KABUL, March 12 (Xinhuanet) -- Afghan President Hamid Karzai blamed the country's enemies for carrying out suicide attacks targeting Sibghatullah Mujadadi, the head of government-appointed Peace Commission on Sunday.

    "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¡¡
