Pakistan-based groups and its intelligence agency the ISI has come under scanner again for the Thursday’s suicide car bomb explosion outside the Indian embassy in Kabul which killed 17 people and injured more than sixty others. <br/><br/>An Afghan foreign ministry spokesman said in Kabul that the attack was definitely planned outside the Afghanistan soil, pointing to bordering areas of Pakistan which act as safe haven for the terrorists. Afghan ambassador to the US, Mr. Said Jawad told a TV programme that they are pointing the finger at the Pakistan intelligence agency, based on the evidence on the ground and similar attacks taking place in Afghanistan.<br/><br/>He said the attack was only a Taliban action, they would have targeted the ministry of interior, which is just across the street to embassy. The ambassador said the target shows the international connections of the Taliban and al Qaeda and how closely they work with each other. Mr. Haroun Mir, the director of the Afghanistan Center for Research and Policy Studies said some rogue elements in the ISI are very upset about India's activities in Afghanistan.<br/>
