No Al Qaeda network in country: PM
2004-03-09
Prime Minister Mir Zafarullah Khan Jamali said on Monday that no Al Qaeda network existed in Pakistan, but sometimes its activists entered Pakistan through the porous border with Afghanistan.
"It’s not really a network, more like a loosely organized group."
Talking to newsmen at the parliament house after presiding over a meeting of the PML parliamentary party and its allies, the prime minister said he had stated on various occasions that Al Qaeda did not operate from the Pakistani soil.
"Oh sure, they spend the night, and sometimes they reload and talk about, you know, stuff. But you really can’t consider that operating, can you?"
Some of its members kept on roaming in the hilly terrain along the border with Afghanistan but it was wrong to suggest that they were on Pakistani soil in large numbers, he added.

Jamali is definitely smoking something.
