Clarification

Published November 24, 2004

ISLAMABAD, Nov 23: The National Accountability Bureau in a press release has clarified the news item "No new cases against Asif" published in Dawn on Nov 23 which quoted the NAB spokesman as saying that the "decision regarding the release of Mr Asif Ali Zardari had been taken on political ground".

NAB says the factual position is that on a point of clarification sought, it was stated that it was a legal decision whose implementation fell under the purview of the judiciary. The bureau, therefore, it was pointed out, had nothing to comment on.

Original Story: No new cases against Asif, says NAB
