Pakistan blamed for bomb attacks in Afghanistan

Afghanistan's President Hamid Karzai appeared to blame Pakistan yesterday for Tuesday's coordinated suicide bombings that, killed 56 people in Kabul and other cities. As he visited survivors in hospital, he vowed to confront Pakistan over the attack, implicating Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, a group based across the border.

Mr Karzai, who cancelled a scheduled to visit the UK for talks with Prime Minister David Cameron, said. "We will investigate the incident and will rigorously follow it up. We will talk with Pakistan government on this."
