The killer of Burhanuddin Rabbani, the Afghan government's negotiator with the Taliban, was a Pakistani, an Afghan presidential statement has said, quoting investigators.
Evidence from the case showed the murder was plotted in the Pakistani city of Quetta, the statement added.
Rabbani was assassinated on 20 September by a suicide attacker as he met Taliban members.
Afghan officials had already blamed Pakistan for the killing.
After Rabbani's death, Afghan President Hamid Karzai said his government would no longer hold peace talks with the Taliban - but would focus on dialogue with Pakistan.
