KABUL, JAN 22 (DNA) – The deadly Kabul Intercontinental Hotel attack has drawn serious criticism for the Afghanistan government with some senior politicians and leaders blaming the involvement of the government officials and the government agencies in the attack.

Afghan government has come under fire after some political figures accused government officials of having been involved in the incident.

This was the second time the hotel had been attacked – the first time being in June 2011.

On Monday, prominent Jihadi leaders and politicians slammed government for its security strategy and said government failed to protect the hotel from the attack.

“This incident indicates that government is weak, its incompetent and fragile. Foreigners were also present there (at hotel) and this weakness is evident to other countries as well,” said ex-Jihadi leader Mohammad Akbari.

They claim that elements inside government collaborated with insurgents to launch the deadly attack on the hotel.

They also said these elements had worked on President Ashraf Ghani’s electoral campaign and that now they are employed in government departments.
