Rabbani murder: Afghan intelligence pins assassination on Quetta Shura
Afghanistan’s intelligence agency accuses TTP of orchestrating assassination of former president Burhanuddin Rabbani.

The Afghan intelligence agency said that its investigation indicates the attack was organised by Taliban officials at the highest levels.
“The Quetta Shura is involved in this case,” said Shafiqullah Tahiri, spokesperson for Afghanistan’s National Directorate of Security. The Quetta Shura is the Taliban’s highest leadership council, led by Mullah Mohammad Omar .
The Taliban on Thursday said media reports calling them responsible for the killing were “baseless and false.”
