Pakistan rejects bodies of Harkat militants killed in Kabul bombing

Islamabad, October 24, 14:13

Pakistan border guards on Wednesday refused to let in the bodies of eight of the 35 Pakistani militants killed in a US bombing raid on Kabul, officials said.






The 35 members of the Pakistani group Harkat ul-Mujahideen, which the United States has linked to terrorism, were killed in a US bomb attack on the Afghan capital on Monday. "We had instructions from higher authorities not to receive the bodies," an official at the Torkham crossing point in the eastern province of Bakhtiar Khan said.

"The bodies were brought to Torkham at 6:00 am. They were the Pakistanis who were killed when a bomb hit a house in Darul Aman in Kabul," he said. Mufti Jamal, a cleric from the radical Islamic Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI) party, told AFP that the men belonged to Harakat and were in Kabul to wage jihad, or holy war, when they were killed on Monday.
