The most senior US military officer has accused Pakistan's spy agency of supporting the Haqqani group in planning and conducting last week's attack on the US embassy in Kabul.
"The Haqqani network... acts as a veritable arm of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence Agency," Adm Mike Mullen told a Senate panel. In July he said Pakistan sanctioned the killing of journalist Saleem Shahzad.
Pakistan's government called that statement "irresponsible".
Pakistani officials have consistently denied links with militant groups.
'Credible intelligence'
At least 25 people died during the 20-hour attack on the US embassy, Nato headquarters and police buildings in Kabul on 22 September. The dead included 11 civilians, among them children, along with at least four police and 10 insurgents.
"With ISI support, Haqqani operatives planned and conducted a truck bomb attack, as well as the assault on our embassy," said Adm Mullen, who steps down this month as chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff.
"We also have credible intelligence that they were behind the 28 June attack against the Inter-Continental Hotel in Kabul and a host of other smaller but effective operations."

You just proved my point.
"We" never made that mistake. Educate the mouth breathing half wits on the left.
