Pakistan’s head of diplomatic mission in Kabul returned to the Afghan capital on Monday, more than four months after he survived an assassination attempt.
Foreign Office Spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch confirmed that Ubaidur Rehman Nizamani, the Pakistani Charge d’Affaires, returned to Kabul.
Nizamani’s return followed a phone call between Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari and Acting Afghan Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi. Sources said the decision to send back the Pakistani envoy was made during the call.
Nizamani was on a routine walk inside the sprawling embassy compound in Kabul on December 2 when shooters opened fire on him from a nearby multi-storey building.
