ISLAMABAD, July 14: The foreign office said on Thursday that the United Kingdom had so far not shared any evidence with Pakistan regarding suspects involved in the July 7 terror attacks on London. Replying to questions during his weekly press briefing, Foreign Office spokesman Jalil Abbas Jillani said that according to reports, the individuals who had carried out the attacks were British nationals, who were born and bred there.

The spokesman was non-committal when asked if any of the suspected terrorists had visited Pakistan or if the government had issued visa to any one of them to visit the country.

“We do not have any evidence to that effect,” Mr Jillani said.

“I have no knowledge or information if they visited Pakistan. No evidence has been provided to us,” he said.

When asked about the government’s stand on appearance of Pakistan’s name in various recent incidents of terrorism which had brought a bad name to the country, the spokesman said that Pakistan’s commitment and efforts at combating terrorism had been acknowledged all over the world.

When asked whether any formal request had been received from Britain for intelligence sharing about suspected bombers, he said Pakistan already had an intelligence-sharing mechanism with Britain and 48 other countries.

The spokesman said that Pakistan and Britain were partners in the fight against international terrorism.

Replying to a question about a report appeared in a section of the press, alleging differences within the government agencies over the issue of militants training camps, Mr Jillani said: “There are certain issues on which there is a complete convergence of views within the different arms of the government as well as between the government and the opposition. The credibility of the report is certainly questionable. I would like to clarify that there are no terrorist camps operating on Pakistani soil.”
