ISLAMABAD: Federal Information Minister Pervaiz Rashid on Sunday said Pakistan will provide evidence from Friday's Badaber PAF camp attack to the Afghan government, Radio Pakistan reported.

The announcement comes two days after over a dozen armed men stormed a PAF camp in Peshawar, killing 29 people including a captain of the Pakistan Army and officials of the Pakistan Air Force.

Chief of the army's media wing, Maj Gen Asim Bajwa, in a press conference after the attack had stopped short of saying the Afghan government was involved in the attack. But he did make clear that the terrorists behind the attack were in Afghanistan.

However, the Afghan government rejected Bajwa's claims as baseless, read a statement issued by the office of the Afghan president.

“Afghanistan, as a victim of terrorism, feels the agony and pain of terrorism, and commiserates in that spirit with the victims of yesterday’s attack in Peshawar,” read the statement released on Saturday by the office of Afghan President Ashraf Ghani.

The Afghan government reiterated its resolve that it has never, nor will it ever allow its territory to be used against other countries.

Afghanistan and Pakistan accuse each other of doing too little to prevent Taliban fighters and other Islamist militants from operating on their territory.

Afghanistan has accused Pakistan of not doing enough to arrest Afghan Taliban leaders who have been meeting to decide on a successor to Mohammad Omar. Islamabad insists any such meetings are held in Afghanistan.

Afghan officials have long accused Pakistan of tolerating or even supporting the Afghan Taliban, a charge denied by Pakistan.

Recently, after his visit to Afghanistan to improve souring ties, foreign affairs adviser Sartaj Aziz said Pakistan and Afghanistan had agreed to end a blame game over a spate of attacks and work to restore trust.
