ISPR snubs NYT over report against Pakistan Army

RAWALPINDI: Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) on Tuesday termed as baseless a New York Times (NYT) report alleging Pakistan Army and not the US forces carried out air strikes in the restive tribal belt, Geo News reported

Commenting on the news report published in NYT on March 5, an ISPR spokesman said that such an accusation is distortion of the facts and seems to be aimed at diluting Pakistan’s stance on drone strikes.

He denied Pakistan’s security forces having carried out any operation, including air strikes, in the area on dates mentioned in the news report.
