Pakistan unaware of US list

June 01-15, 2011

The Pakistan Army has clarified that it is not aware of any list of the most wanted Al-Qaeda and Taliban leaders handed over to the government by the US Secretary of State, Hilary Clinton during her recent visit to Pakistan.

American news channels had reported that the US Secretary had handed over a list of five most wanted militant leaders to Pakistan. The list includes two senior Al-Qaeda figures—Ayman al Zawahiri, Atiya Abdel Rahman—Afghan Taliban reclusive leader Mullah Mohammad Omar, Haqqani network commander Sirajuddin Haqqani and Ilyas Kashmiri, Harkatul-Jihad-al-Islami (HuJI). Kashmiri is considered the man who masterminded audacious attack on Pakistan’s major navy air base in Karachi recently.

Kashmiri and Sirajuddin Haqqani are believed to be in North Waziristan, the only tribal region, still under control of several Taliban groups. The CIA considers this region as the launching pad for cross-border attacks into Afghanistan against foreign and Afghan forces, according to Islamic Republic News Agency of Pakistan.

US officials are reported to have said that they were testing Pakistan if it is committed to fight wanted militants on its soil.
