US finding on ISI rubbish: FO

Monitoring Desk adds: The Army on Friday strongly denounced a report that the country’s spy service helped plan the July 7 bombing of the Indian Embassy in the Afghan capital of Kabul, reports CNN.

Army spokesman Maj-Gen Athar Abbas said the ‘hellacious report’ was an ‘effort to malign the ISI’. “The ISI is a very disciplined organisation, manned by military officials. It has played the most crucial role in the war on terror and apprehended members of Al-Qaeda, the Taliban, and those linked to the attack on mainland America on 9/11,” Abbas said.

Abbas said “despite our insistence, no evidence has been provided to us about these allegations.”
