Pak asks Afghanistan to take action in varsity attack

Pakistan has asked Afghanistan to take action against the perpetrators of the terror attack on the Bacha Khan University in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa that killed 21 people and to bring them to justice at the earliest possible.
Afghan Charge d'Affaires Syed Abdul Nasir Yousafi was called to the Foreign Office yesterday to convey Pakistan's concern regarding the use of Afghan soil by certain terrorist elements in the attack on the university.
"He was told that investigations have revealed that handlers of this terrorist act were operating from Afghan territory and used Afghan telecommunication network for planning and executing this attack," the Foreign Office said.

Pakistan maintains that handlers were in Afghanistan and directing the attack. The relevant details on the incident had already been shared with the Afghan side, it added.
Pakistani authorities asked Afghanistan to "take action against the perpetrators of this heinous act of terrorism and extend cooperation to Pakistani authorities to bring them to justice," it said in a statement.
At least 21 people, mostly students, were killed and several others injured when armed militants stormed the university campus and opened fire on them in Charsadda town last week, an year after over 150 people, mostly students, were killed in an attack on an army-run school in Peshawar.
