Afghan nationals carried out two suicide bombings in Pakistan this week, including one in the capital Islamabad, Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi said on Thursday, amid sharpening tensions between the South Asian neighbors over militant violence.
Both the bombers involved in the attacks have been identified as Afghans, he told parliament in a session carried live on television.
He blamed the Afghan Taliban for supporting Islamist militants who attack Pakistani forces.
However, there was no immediate response from Kabul.
