Pakistanis Aided Attack in Kabul, U.S. Officials Say

Afghan and Indian officials removed a body from the Indian Embassy

The American officials also said there was new information showing that members of the Pakistani intelligence service were increasingly providing militants with details about the American campaign against them, in some cases allowing militants to avoid American missile strikes in Pakistan’s tribal areas.

My Comment: If true, by attacking the Indian Embassy .... this is an open declaration of war by Pakistan against India. It is obvious that there are elements in the Pakistani Army and intelligence services that want war with India.
