ISLAMABAD: Pakistan's prime minister has traveled to Kabul to convey his country's sorrow over the assassination of neighboring Afghanistan's former president and peace envoy, Burhanuddin Rabbani.
The premier's office says Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani left for the visit on Thursday, accompanied by several senior Pakistani officials, including Interior Minister Rehman Malik.
Rabbani was killed by a suicide bomber on Tuesday who tricked the former Afghan leader into allowing him into his home by saying he had an important peace offer from the Taliban.
Rabbani was the head of the Afghan High Peace Council, which was tasked with cultivating peace negotiations with the Taliban.
