Karzai suspects US behind Afghan bombings: report
Media report says Afghan president thinks US may be behind terrorist to attacks in his country
Afghan President Hamid Karzai suspects the United States may have backed insurgent-style attacks to undermine his government but has no evidence to support his theory, the Washington Post reported on Tuesday.
Karzai, whose relations with Washington have steadily deteriorated over the years, has compiled a list of dozens of attacks that he believes the US government may have been involved in, the Post wrote, citing unnamed Afghan officials.
Karzai even harbours suspicions that the Americans may have been behind a deadly attack this month on a Lebanese restaurant frequented by foreigners in Kabul, the newspaper said, quoting a presidential palace official.
However, the Afghan official acknowledged that the government had no concrete proof of a US role in any of the attacks.
The Taliban often claims responsibility for bombings employing homemade explosives and other assaults, including the recent attack on the Lebanese restaurant.
In Kabul, Afghan officials were unavailable to comment on the report.
