ISLAMABAD, May 11 (Xinhua) -- Pakistan on Monday summoned the Afghan Charge d'Affaires to lodge a strong protest over an attack on a police check post in the country's northwest Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province that killed 15 police personnel and wounded several others.
Pakistan's Foreign Ministry said in a statement that a detailed investigation into the incident, along with evidence collected and technical intelligence, indicated that the attack was masterminded by terrorists residing in Afghanistan.
The statement said that Pakistan has engaged with the Afghan government through several rounds of talks facilitated by friendly countries. However, the efforts have not resulted in meaningful action against the terrorist groups operating from Afghanistan.
Pakistan also conveyed that it would not compromise on its national security and the protection of its citizens if terrorist organizations continued to find safe haven across the border, the statement added. ■
