ISPR rejects NYT allegations as ridiculous
RAWALPINDI: Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) director general said on Thursday that allegations of Carlotta Gal in an article in the New York Times are baseless and ridiculous. In a statement issued on Thursday, the DG said that nothing in the report was new and credible, and all speculations had already been proven false. The Pakistani Embassy in Washington also Wednesday dismissed allegations in the NYT story that linked former Pakistani officials to presence of slain al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden on the country’s soil. Responding to the 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.
