Al-Qaeda does not exist in Pakistan & Afghanistan: Rustam Shah

PESHAWAR: Former Pakistan’s ambassador to Afghanistan, Rustam Shah Mehmand has said that Al-qaeda network has been dismantled and it does not exist in Pakistan nor Afghanistan.
Talking to a private T.V channel, former Pakistan’s ambassador however admitted that a number of militant organizations after Iran and Afghanistan war have emerged and are operating for the accomplishment of their nefarious designs by using the name of Al-Qaeda. The statement of Pakistan’s foreign office should be seen in this context, he added.
