Pakistan on Friday dismissed the allegations levelled against its premier intelligence agency, ISI, for the 2009 bombing on a CIA base in Afghanistan in the recent US government declassified documents. "Allegations in the media on Pakistan's involvement with HQN [Haqqani network] are preposterous," Foreign Office spokesperson Nafees Zakaria told media queries regarding allegations against Pakistan in the declassified documents of the US government.
He said that Pakistan is determined to eradicate the scourge of terrorism and has taken action against all terrorist elements, without discrimination. In fact, we were shocked and deeply saddened when precious American lives were lost at the Chapman facility in 2009 in an unfortunate attack that was later claimed by TTP [Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan] in a publicly available video, featuring the suicide bomber with the leader of the TTP, he said.
He also recalled that over the past years, Pakistan has through a series of military operations, severely damaged and weakened the TTP and other militant and terrorist organisations. "We wish to remind that Pakistan is amongst the biggest victims of terrorism, having lost tens of thousands of innocent lives, including over five thousand valiant personnel of law enforcement agencies, and economic losses to the tune of a hundred billion dollars," Zakaria added.
