ISLAMABAD: Pakistan on Tuesday accused the government in Kabul and the Pakistani Taliban (TTP) militant group of jointly planning a Nov. 11 suicide bombing at Islamabad’s district court complex, saying the attack was orchestrated from Afghanistan and involved operatives trained and sheltered there. The accusations came as the Afghan Taliban government said on Tuesday nine children and a woman were killed in overnight Pakistani airstrikes, vowing to respond, ratcheting up tensions between the South Asian neighbors. Pakistan has not responded to Kabul’s claim.
