The Afghan Foreign Ministry called on the Pakistani government to take immediate measures to ensure the full security of the Afghan embassy and consulates, the immunity of the country’s diplomats and their families in accordance with international treaties and conventions.
At the Pakistani Foreign Ministry clarifiedthat the ambassador’s daughter was attacked while driving a rented car. Officials called the incident “disturbing” and said police had begun an investigation. The security of the Afghan Ambassador and his family has been strengthened.
Associated Press citing a medical report, indicated that Alikhil had been severely beaten. She was hit on the head and had rope marks on her wrists and legs. The ambassador’s daughter was prescribed an X-ray, as doctors suspected that several of her bones were broken. The kidnappers held her for more than five hours, the agency said.
Relations between Pakistan and Afghanistan are full of suspicion and hostility, noted Associated Press… Countries regularly accuse each other of supporting the militants. Afghanistan claims Pakistan is sending fight in Afghanistan thousands of jihadists and provides refuge for the Taliban.
Pakistan accuses Kabul of harboring Tehreek-e Taliban Pakistan, the Pakistani wing of the Taliban and the separatist army for the liberation of Baluchistan.
All diplomatic missions are located in Islamabad, most of them are located in a well-fortified enclave, writes The Guardian… The Afghan mission is outside of this enclave.
