As a result of the attack on the Pakistani Embassy in Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, the target of the attack, Obaidul Rahman, the head of the diplomatic mission, was safe, but the security officer Asrar Ahmed was seriously injured. 

Daesh has claimed responsibility for the attack, while Pakistan's foreign office says it is trying to find out the truth of Daesh's claim. 

This is not the first time that there has been an attack on Pakistan's diplomatic mission in Afghanistan, but Pakistani diplomatic missions have also been targeted..

The Pakistan Chancery was completely destroyed during an attack in the year 5, which was restored to its original state through reconstruction in 2012. 

The current embassy of Pakistan in Karte Parwan, a suburb of Kabul, is a sprawling diplomatic mission that was once the largest diplomatic mission in Dina, covering an area of ​​26 acres. 

This chancery was inherited by Pakistan after the partition of India, but during the reign of Ustad Burhanuddin Rabbani, Pakistan got its official possession.

 --- The chancery was completely destroyed when it was handed over to Pakistan, which was completely restored within six months.

 The Pakistani embassy in Kabul is one of the busiest embassies not only in Pakistan but also in the world..

7 When I went to Kabul with some other journalists, I saw thousands of Afghan men and women at one time in the consular section of the embassy seeking visas..

In the recent attack, Pakistani Governor Obaidul Rehman was targeted.

The embassy issues four to five thousand visas on a daily basis, including visas for medical, educational, business and visiting loved ones residing in Pakistan. 

Protests outside the embassy are a normal thing. Afghan citizens with anti-Pakistan sentiments continue to protest on one or the other occasion, but apart from the attack two days ago, there have been three major attacks on the embassy so far. 

In 1955, when Pakistan implemented One Unit, the citizens of Afghanistan protested against the merger of the then Frontier Province and present Khyber Pakhtunkhwa into one unit.

 It should be noted that the conflict between Pakistan and Afghanistan regarding some Pashtun areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan has been going on since the establishment of Pakistan...

On 30 March 1955, Afghan protesters attacked the Pakistani diplomatic mission and ambassador's residence in Kabul. In this attack, they tore the Pakistani flag and also damaged the building.

 The then Afghan Prime Minister Mohammad Daud Khan himself incited the protesters while the police did not stop the people who attacked the embassy at all. When the Afghan Taliban captured Herat for the first time in 5, the people of the Northern Alliance in Afghanistan at that time protested by accusing Pakistan of helping the Taliban. 

At least 0 people were killed and 26 injured, including senior staff, in the attack on 6 September 1995, according to an official posted at the then diplomatic mission of Pakistan. 

Demonstrators set fire to the Chancery, destroying it completely. Pakistani mission personnel were evacuated from Kabul by C-130 aircraft..

There have been several demonstrations outside the Pakistani embassy...

In 2012, Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani during his visit to Kabul during the government of the People's Party re-inaugurated the chancery which was rebuilt by the Pakistani government.

 5 From 2012, the Pakistani embassy was shifted to a rented building.

 In 2012, when Pakistani Ambassador Mohammad Sadiq moved into this British-era building after it was restored to its original condition, Afghan President Hamid Karzai addressed him as "Vice Regal". Earlier also in 2003, 0 people attacked the Pakistani embassy and damaged the embassy.

 It should be noted that in 2018, a suicide attack was also carried out outside the Pakistani consulate in Jalalabad, while before that Afghan politicians also held protests in front of the consulate, due to which the consular services were suspended several times. The consulate was temporarily closed..

An attempt was made to target the Pakistani consulate in Mazar-i-Sharif in a suicide attack on 9 May, but the Pakistani security authorities foiled the attack.

 In this incident, the Afghan woman was trying to enter the consulate with a hand grenade, who was arrested and handed over to the Afghan authorities, while diplomatic services were closed until adequate security was provided...
