 Pakistani Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz says his country will expand its intelligence-sharing with Britain following two London bombing attacks in July. However, Aziz told the Financial Times, "it would be simplistic" to assume the July 7 suicide bombers used their ties in Pakistan to plan the attacks. "There is no linkage of the visits to Pakistan and these terrible events," he said. | The "no linkage" meme is getting a bit tired. |
At least one of the three ethnic Pakistani bombers is believed to have visited an Islamic madrassa in Pakistan to prepare for the attacks. Senior Pakistani intelligence officials told the newspaper they had nearly finished questioning various people who received phone calls from two of the July 7 bombers who visited their parents' country of origin in the past year. |
