Lashkar-e-Taiba, a terrorist group based in Pakistan, in collusion with the Taliban group have carried out the deadly attack on March 08 in Kabul military hospital which left at least 50 people death and injured dozens of others, source told Ariana News on Saturday.

However, a fact finding team from the Afghan Ministry of Defense did not provide details about the incident, but a security source revealed untold stories of the complicated attack on Sardar Mohammad Daud Khan’s military hospital to Ariana News.

According to the source, the attack was plotted in Pakistan by Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorist group and a Taliban group based in Kapisa province of Afghanistan have paved the ground for the incident.

“At first, 17 suspects were arrested from the hospital, but now there are only five suspects including doctors and nurses from the hospital under detention,” said the source.

After some secrets of the incident made public, the investigation process halted and faced challenges, the source added.

Afghan defense ministry spokesman Dawlat Waziri says possibly the main culprits are among the 24 people who have been arrested and are under investigation.

At the same time, a delegation from the Senate House have scrutinized the incident.

The delegation findings suggest that there are some high-ranking officials in the hospital who are responsible for the attack, but they haven’t been arrested yet.

“A lot of people haven’t been arrested yet, because there are being supported by the people inside the government,” said Faisal Samay a member of the Senate House.

The probe accuses all generals in the Kabul military hospital for dereliction of duty.

“All generals in the 400-bed hospital are accused related to this incident, none of the main culprits have been arrested yet,” said Hashim Alekozai the head of defense committee of the Senate House.

The Upper House of Parliament claims that its finding is different from the governmental fact finding team, so the security officials have been summoned to respond on the incident on today.

US urges IEA to fulfill counter-terrorism commitments

The US State Department said on Thursday that Washington is committed to ensuring that Afghanistan can never again be a launching pad for terrorism.

“We remain committed to ensuring that Afghanistan can never again be a launching pad for terrorism, and we continue to push the Taliban (Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan) to fulfill all of their counterterrorism commitments to the international community,” the department’s spokesperson Matthew Miller said at a news briefing in Washington.

He reiterated that the United States had clearly communicated to the IEA that it’s their responsibility to ensure that “they give no safe haven to terrorists, whether it be Al Qaeda or ISIS-K or any other terrorist organization”.

Miller also reassured US allies that Washington was closely watching the developments in Afghanistan and was ready to deal with any threat emerging from the region.

“We remain vigilant against the evolving threat of these terrorist groups, and our global coalition to defeat ISIS and the C5+1 help intensify our efforts to monitor terrorist threats from the region and prevent their ability to raise funds, travel, and spread propaganda,” he said.

C5+1 refers to a diplomatic platform involving the five Central Asian states (Kazakhstan, Kyrgy­zstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan) and the United States. It serves as a forum for discussing and addressing regional issues such as security, economic development, and cooperation.

“The United States remains vigilant against the evolving threat posed by terrorist groups, including ISIS-K, and has maintained an unwavering focus on terrorism since President Joe Biden took office three years ago,” Miller said.

The US, he said, was “working both unilaterally and with its partners to successfully disrupt threats across the globe and degrade ISIS”.

“We will continue to work to hold ISIS accountable for its actions and to prevent terrorist attacks against the United States and other Western countries,” Miller said.

This comes as IEA has repeatedly said that it is committed to not allowing anyone to use Afghanistan soil against any other country.
