ISLAMABAD, July 7 (Xinhua) -- Pakistan has denied any links with people involved in the last year London suicide bombing.
Information Minister Muhammad Ali Durrani dispelled on Friday the impression that a video tape of a suicide bomber, Tanveer Shehzad, might have been prepared in Pakistan.
Tanveer Shehzad in his video, released by al-Qaida on Thursday, a day ahead of the first anniversary of the London bombing, had threatened more attacks.
Durrani told the BBC Urdu website that Pakistan was playing the role of front line state in the war on terrorism and that hundreds of its security men had been killed in anti-terror campaign.
"Pakistan is itself the victim of terrorism," the minister said.
He said that those who had evidence to link Pakistan with the July 7, 2005 London suicide bombers should provide it to the government.
He said that Pakistan would fully cooperate in the investigation.
Three bombers were stated to be British born Pakistanis. Some 52 people were killed in the blasts.
British investigators have been saying that Tanveer Shehzad had visited Pakistan before the bombing and had studied in a religious seminary.
But the Pakistani information minister said that the government had not found any such proof to substantiate that Tanveer Shehzad had studied in any Pakistani "madrassa."
He said that all the bombers were British citizens of Pakistani descent. They were born, grown up and studied in Britain, Durrani said. Enditem
