Pakistan not consulted by US on Time Square terror plot; says Malik

ISLAMABAD, May 4 (APP): Minister for Interior A Rehman Malik Tuesday said the US authorities had not made any request to Pakistani authorities regarding the whereabouts of Faisal Shehzad, the suspect in Time Square attack bid.  “We are receiving sketchy information about the suspect through media. Until and unless we are not provided proper information trough proper channel, I can not verify the involvement of any Pakistani citizen in the New York attack plot,” he told media here at Parliament House.
However, the minister vehemently made it clear that Pakistan would extend full cooperation with the US authorities when they seek so.
“Let me reiterate the strong resolve of Pakistan that no one would be allowed to use Pakistani soil for terrorism in any part of the world,” he added.
Rehman Malik also said the plot could be a conspiracy hatched against Pakistan with nefarious designs. However, he said if any Pakistani was found involved in plotting the terrorism bid, strict action would be taken against the perpetrators.
