No bugging device found in Pak embassy in London - daily

IRNA

Islamabad, Dec 3, IRNA - Pakistan`s special investigation team has 
found no bugging device in the country`s embassy in London, reported a
Lahore-based newspaper on Wednesday. 
Daily Times newspaper said that the special security team returned
home without finding any bugging device in Pakistani High Commission 
in London. 
The newspaper quoting an official said that the British 
intelligence operatives were either so sophisticated and nearly 
impossible to locate or the devices were pulled out and taken away so 
as to leave "no smoking guns". 
"The team even dug floors, bared a number of walls and checked 
every niche and corner, but found nothing," the newspaper quoted the 
official as saying. 
Pakistan has sought clarification from British government over 
reports of bugging of its embassy in 2001. However, Britain has so far
been silent. 
Reports said, a few weeks back, that bugging devices were 
installed during renovation of the building by Britain`s secret 
agency MI5. 
Reacting to its silence, Islamabad has threatened to look to some 
other options and even said that this attitude by Britain could have 
impact on their relations. 
Pakistan asked British government to make its position clear on 
the issue.
