NEW DELHI: Afghanistan’s intelligence services believe that the suicide bomber who crashed an explosives-laden car into the Indian embassy in Kabul last month was a Pakistani national.

Lashkar-e-Taiba operative Hamza Shakoor, tentatively identified as a 22-year-old resident of Pakistan’s Gujranwala district, is believed to have driven the sports utility vehicle that was used to bomb the Indian mission.
