United States government officials say American intelligence agencies concluded members of Pakistan’s spy service helped plan the July 7 bombing of India’s embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan, that killed 41 people, The New York Times reported.

The report said U.S. officials cited intercepted communications between Pakistani intelligence officers and militants who carried out the attack as confirmation of Pakistan’s ties to the blast.

Officials said the communications were intercepted before July 7, but were not detailed enough as to reference a specific bombing, The Times reported.

“It confirmed some suspicions that I think were widely held,” a State Department official told The Times. “It was sort of this ‘aha’ moment. There was a sense that there was finally direct proof.”

Shortly after the embassy bombing, Afghanistan blamed a foreign intelligence agency for the blast, making a veiled but clear reference to its eastern neighbor, Pakistan.
