Pakistan denies hosting terror group against Iran

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Islamabad, Feb 2, IRNA -- Pakistan on Wednesday outrightly rejected 
a report which alleged Islamabad was hosting a terrorist group 
against Iran. 
"Pakistan has taken no such steps and will not allow its soil to 
be abused against Iran by any foreign element," the Foreign Office 
Spokesman Masood Khan told IRNA on phone. 
"Iran-Pakistan relations are based on firm foundation," he 
asserted the report released by the United Press International "is 
not correct and has no credibility". 
UPI`s report dated January 26 alleged that Islamabad was helping 
a group of MKO in Pakistan`s Balochistan province areas to operate 
against the Iranian government. 
It charged that President General Pervez Musharraf allowed the 
terror group to gather Iran`s military intelligence for US from 
the Pakistani province. 
When asked about the motive behind such reports, the Foreign 
Office spokesman maintained, "such fanciful stories are peddled to 
spread disinformation". 
In recent weeks, there has been a chain of reports in the Western 
media about Islamabad helping the United States against Iran. 
The officials in the government and in the military have strongly 
rejected such reports, saying these were specifically aimed at 
creating a wedge between two brotherly nations.
