Raiwind, Aug 2 : PML-N leader and former premier Nawaz Sharif has said that his country won’t allow itself to become a colony of the US. He also said that President Pervez Musharraf’s shadow was soon going to vanish from the country’s horizon.

Colombo, Aug 2 : Afghan President Hamid Karzai today attacked Pakistan for providing safe sanctuary to terrorists.

"It is because of the safe havens and sanctuary which terrorists are getting in Pakistan, the country lost their great leader Benazir Bhutto," he claimed.

Islamabad, Aug 2: Amid accusations that ISI was hand-in-glove with tribal militants along Pak-Afghan border and was behind the July 7 suicide bombing on Indian embassy in Kabul, a former chief of the Pakistan intelligence agency has said that it was the “most disciplined” intelligence organisation in the world.

The ISI was not involved in any policy against the state, said Hamid Gul and added that the recent accusations against the agency were all propaganda against it.

The responsibility of internal political intelligence was assigned to the ISI during Zulfikar Bhutto’s regime, and was part of the agency’s Charter, the Daily Times quoted him as saying.

Washington, Aug 2: Fearing that it would leak intelligence reports to extremists operating from its tribal areas, the US has for the past four months not shared information with Pakistan prior to carrying out air strikes on areas lying in Pakistan territory targeting al Qaeda and Taliban suspects.

The revelation on the Bush administration’s toughening stance on its long-time ally in the war against Islamic extremism came as Pakistani officials angrily denied a newspaper report that its intelligence service helped plan the July 7 bombing of India's embassy in Kabul that killed at least 41 people.

Islamabad, Aug 2 : Pakistan has strongly rejected a report published by a US daily claiming that its intelligence agency ISI was behind July 7 suicide attack on Indian embassy in Kabul. Describing the report as “rubbish”, Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mehmud Qureshi said that his country was too suffering from the menace of terrorism, and promised to cooperate with neighbouring countries to combat terror.

Earlier this week, the New York Times had reported that intercepted communications had provided clear evidence that the ISI was involved in the suicide attack on the Indian mission, which killed around 60 people.

“We are suffering, and this region is suffering, from this menace of extremism and terrorism,” The News quoted Quereshi ass saying.
