ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has rejected all US reports and news regarding
involvement of Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) in assassination of
Senior Journalist, Saleem Shahzad.
Intelligence sources told
Online that there is no any truth in the reports and news which were
published in US regarding the involvement of Pakistani intelligence
agency ISI in murder case of Saleem Shahzad. All these reports are
baseless and have no legal grounds.
Sources said that a
commission has already been constituted to investigate Saleem Shahzad
murder case and inquiry is underway. It is regrettable that the US
media has published reports against ISI without waiting verifying the
news and US media did not wait for the report of the Saleem Sahahzad
assassination Inquiry Commission. The sources termed the reports a
well-planned propaganda against Pakistani intelligence agency.
Therefore, it is worthless to say anything regarding the murder case before the final report of the Inquiry Commission.
Sources
further told Online that the US media has started propaganda against
Pakistan and on Tuesday (July 5) New York Times had published report of
Saleem Shahzad assassination without any solid proof. In report, the
NYT explained that Saleem Shahzad was killed on the orders of ISI.
While Pakistani Intelligence sources confirmed that there is no any truth in the reports of US media.

truth in the news regarding the involvement of ISI in Saleem Shahzad
assassination case and the reports which have been published in the US
media having no grounds. Online
