Pakistan embassy dismisses NYT report
Unconfirmed reports not deserve attention, an official said.
WASHINGTON (APP): The Pakistani embassy in Washington on Wednesday dismissed allegations in a story appearing in The New York Times that linked former Pakistani officials to presence of slain al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden on the country’s soil.
Responding to the New York Times story, a spokesperson of the embassy noted that “senior US officials have on a number of occasions stated on record that they had seen no intelligence linking Government of Pakistan and any of its agencies to OBL’s presence in Abbottabad”.
“To still believe otherwise and to resurrect the issue through unnamed sources and unconfirmed reports does not deserve attention,” the Spokesperson added.
