India sends probe team to Kabul New Delhi: In the wake of Friday’s bomb blasts in Kabul, India has
sent a team of investigators to the Afghan capital. National Security
Advisor Shiv Shankar Menon will pay a visit there on March 5 to discuss
the security of Indians in Afghanistan.
The team, including officials of Home and Defence Ministries, has
joined its Afghan counterpart in probing the attack in which Indians
engaged in developmental and reconstruction works in that country were
targeted.
Afghanistan has set up a five-member team to investigate the incident.
The investigators suspect the involvement of the Taliban,
particularly the Haqqani group, in league with elements of the
Lashkar-e-Taiba in the assault.
