mea rejects pak blame on india for suicide car bomb attack
New Delhi, June 30 -- India on Sunday dismissed the Pakistan Army's allegation that a suicide bombing in Waziristan was carried out by a terror group with Indian support, and said the statement was rejected "with the contempt it deserves".
The suicide bombing at Mir Ali in North Waziristan, part of Pakistan's Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province, killed 13 soldiers and injured 24 people on Saturday. The attack was claimed by the Hafiz Gul Bahadur group, a faction of the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan.
"We have seen an official statement by the Pakistan Army seeking to blame India for the attack in Waziristan on 28 June," the external affairs ministry said. "We reject this statement with the contempt it deserves."
A statement from Inter-Services Public Relations, the Pakistani military's media arm, said that "an explosive-laden vehicle was rammed by the Indian sponsored kharijis into one of the vehicles" of an army convoy.
This incident is being described as one of the deadliest in North Waziristan in recent months and has raised serious concerns about the security situation in the region.
