Afghanistan says, Pakistan's intelligence agency ISI was behind the attack on the Indian embassy in Kabul which killed 17 people and wounded more than 80 on Thursday. Afghan envoy to the US, T Jawad has claimed this in an interview with PBS news channel in Washington. He said, Afghanistan is pointing the finger at ISI based on the evidence on the ground and similar attack taking place in Afghanistan. While the Karzai Government was quick to point figure towards foreign players in the attack on the Indian embassy early this week, this is for the first time that a top Afghan official has blamed the Pakistani intelligence agency for the terror strike.<br/>India has said that Afghanistan faces threat from terrorists and their patrons residing across the border. Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao, who returned after a two-day visit to Kabul in the wake of Thursday's attack on Indian Embassy, told reporters in Delhi that the blast was the handiwork of those who want to undermine Indo-Afghan friendship. She made it clear that India will not be deterred by such acts.<br/>
