ISLAMABAD, July 7: Information Minister Mohammed Ali Durrani on Friday denied that any of the London transit system bombers, including one who appeared in a recently aired video warning of further attacks, had received training or support during visits to Pakistan.

The minister told AP that no connection had been proven between Pakistan and the July 7, 2005, bombings.

“Let me tell you with full confidence that there is no evidence that any suicide bomber had received training or any other support from militants in Pakistan,” he said.

An intelligence official said British agents had been working closely with authorities since the bombings to trace those behind the attacks, but “so far there has been no luck”.

“It is purely a domestic issue of Britain, but we have given them good support,” said the official. The official said some suicide bombers did come to Pakistan before the attacks, but there was no evidence that they met militants there.—AP
