ISLAMABAD, June 4: An eight-member Danish team arrived in Islamabad on Wednesday to join the probe into Monday’s bomb blast outside the Danish embassy.

However, additional director-general of the Federal Investigation Agency and head of the local investigation team Mirza Yasin denied that any such team had arrived from Denmark. But, he added, the team might have arrived but local investigators had not been informed.

In reply to a question about the progress made in the investigation, he said: “I cannot share information with the media at this stage.”

Sources said the Danish team comprised four officials each from police and foreign office. Members of the team visited the crime scene, the sources said, and also examined the embassy building.

They said the Danish mission screened for the team the video film captured by a closed-circuit camera installed at the embassy. The film provided little clue about the assailant because side-screens of the suspect car had black curtains which prevented a view of the driver from the camera.

The sources said that the thumb impression taken from the hand of the suspected terrorist found at the blast site could not be matched with data available with Nadra.
