Pakistani PM calls for joint efforts to fight terrorism
KUALA LUMPUR, July 9 (Reuters) - Pakistan on Wednesday called for an end to the blame game and focus on the war against terror, brushing aside again allegations of its involvement in the recent bombing of the Indian Embassy in Kabul.
In what was generally seen as a reference to Pakistan, an Afghan presidential spokesman had said on Tuesday the suicide bomb attack in Afghan capital bore all the hallmarks of a foreign intelligence agency.
The allegation came after Pakistan Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gillani had denied his country's involvement in the attack, in response to earlier Agfhan accusations.
"We all have to fight against terrorism and extremism. And we should not put excuses, rather we should jointly fight this war," Gillani told a select group of reporters in the Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur. (Reporting by Faisal Aziz; Editing by Jerry Norton)
