(MENAFN- Tribal News Network) PESHAWAR, 2 December: Director General Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Major General Asif Ghafoor has said Friday's terrorist attack on Directorate of Agriculture in Peshawar was planned in Afghanistan and proofs in this regard have been shared with Afghan Director General Military Operations.

The DG ISPR told a private news channel that acceptance of responsibility of the attack by the banned Tehreek-e-Taliban proves that the attack was orchestrated from Afghanistan. He said the attackers were in contact with their handlers in Afghanistan.
