President Hamid Karzai paid an emotional visit on Wednesday to a hospital full of survivors of a series of suicide bombings claimed by a Pakistani extremist group, and he promised to pursue the issue with Pakistan’s government. Mr. Karzai, however, stopped short of accusing Pakistan of involvement in the suicide attacks, which killed about 60 people — including at least a few infants — and wounded more than 200, most of them in Kabul. One of the dead in Kabul was an American man, according to the Public Health Ministry. The American Embassy confirmed that, but it declined to identify the victim.
On Tuesday, the militant group Lashkar-e-Jhangvi claimed responsibility for the three bombings, in Kabul, Mazar-i-Sharif and Kandahar. Afghan president said, “Certainly we will discuss this issue with the government of Pakistan and we will talk to them, this issue is extremely serious and important to us,”
