NEW DELHI: A Taliban commander has claimed that Pakistan intelligence had a hand in the recent killing of Indian engineer K Suryanarayana in southern Afghanistan, a Kabul-based private television channel reported.

A Taliban commander wishing to remain anonymous told Tolu Television that Amir Khan Haqqani, the military commander of Taliban fighters in Zabul province, opposed the killing of Suryanarayana.

He claimed the Indian engineer was killed by Mullah Latif, a militiaman under the command of Mawlawi Mohammad Alam Andar, allegedly on orders from Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence, a little-known website afgha.com quoted the Tolu report as saying.

Following the accusation, Afghan President Hamid Karzai's chief of staff Jawed Ludin said the administration expects Islamabad to clarify its position on the accusation.

"The reports on Pakistani ISI involvement in the incident are very important to Afghanistan," Ludin said, adding that Kabul expects Islamabad to clarify its stance.

Suryanarayana was abducted by the Taliban from Zabul province on April 28 and his body was found on April 30.

Refuting claims reportedly made by the Taliban commander, Pakistan said it has never sponsored the policy of killing civilians.

"We have been condemning killing of civilians where ever they occurred as acts of terrorism. It is not the government policy to sponsor killing of civilians," Pakistan Foreign Office spokesperson Tasnim Aslam said.
