Pakistan claims the attack on a university in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province that left 21 people killed and at least 30 others wounded was handled from Afghanistan.
“The attackers were in touch with a number from Afghanistan,” Lt Gen Asim Saleem Bajwa, the director general of the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), told a news briefing in Peshawar, according to Pakistan’s The Express Tribune news.
“The terrorists were continuously conversing on their mobile phones, two of which we have recovered and collected data from.”
ISPR spokesperson has further said that the SIMs used in the phones were of Afghan origin, adding that a mobile phone recovered from one of the attackers was receiving calls even after he had been killed.
Meanwhile, chief of Pakistan’s Jamaat–e-Islami party Siraj-ul-Haq has blamed India for the attack saying that there is no doubt India was involved in it.
Afghan government has not yet responded to Pakistan’s claim.
