Pakistan rejects US media reports on terror training camps
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan on Friday rejected US media reports that Al Qaeda training camps had been revived along its border with Afghanistan. “There are no terrorist training camps in any part of Pakistan,” said Foreign Ministry spokesman Masood Khan. :rolleyes: “Pakistan is opposed to terrorism in all its forms and has taken all the necessary steps to eliminate this threat.”
US news channel CNN quoted unnamed US sources saying that overhead surveillance of the porous frontier between Pakistan and Afghan showed vehicles and people moving to known Al Qaeda training sites. Masood Khan dismissed the report saying that Pakistan would not allow use of its territory for subversive purposes by the Al Qaeda network. He said the recent arrests of high profile Al Qaeda operatives vindicated Pakistan’s resolve to rout out the menace. “Recent interdictions underline and substantiate Pakistan’s resolve to move against terrorists from any part of the world who may be using Pakistan soil,” the spokesman said. afp
