India blames terror flow from across Durand Line
Kabul, November 21
About 23 mortar shells hit different parts of the Afghan capital on Saturday, killing at least eight persons and wounding 31. The Taliban denied any role. The mortar barrage came as representatives of the Afghan Government and the Taliban continued to hold talks in Qatar.
In an oblique reference to Pakistan, India told the UN that Afghanistan could succeed only when terrorism no longer flowed across the Durand Line.

It is important to ensure that those who shelter terrorists must be held accountable,” he said, without naming any country. — Agencies
