The 2008 Indian embassy bombing in Kabul was a suicide bomb terror attack on the Indian embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan on 7 July 2008 at 8:30 AM local time.[3] The bombing killed 58 people[2] and wounded 141.[4] The suicide car bombing took place near the gates of the embassy during morning hours when officials enter the embassy.[5][6][7]

Unnamed U.S. intelligence officials suggested to The New York Times that Pakistan's ISI intelligence agency had planned the attack.[8] Pakistan denied this claim.[8][9] According to British journalist Christina Lamb, United States President George W. Bush confronted Pakistani Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani and stated that in the case of another such attack he would have to take "serious action".[10] Gilani promised to investigate the attack.[11][12] Subsequently, Pakistani foreign ministry spokesman Mohammed Sadiq described The New York Times report as "total rubbish" and said there was no evidence of ISI involvement.[13]
