Some days ago, on June 22, a few Taliban militants detonated a car bomb outside the National Assembly in Kabul. The attackers launched rocket-propelled grenades at the building before they were killed by the Afghan national security force. The government of Afghanistan laid blame on Pakistan by saying that the bomb was loaded into the car in Peshawar and a man named Bilal, belonging to the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), was the mastermind who funded the project carried out by the Haqqani network. Reportedly, the Afghan government had been on alert since June 10 because of intelligence reports of the probable attack.
