Sharif's meeting with American envoy over shooter's links denied

Islamabad - Reports said US officials handed over information to their Pakistani counterparts about links between Tashfeen Malik and Lal Masjid.

Pakistan denied reports on Saturday of a meeting between Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and the US envoy over California female shooter's links with the Lal Masjid cleric in Islamabad.
According to British newspaper Daily Mail, US officials handed over information to their Pakistani counterparts about links between Tashfeen Malik, the female shooter in the California rampage, and the Lal Masjid in Islamabad.
However, the Prime Minister's House said in a statement no such meeting was held. "News reports regarding the meeting of a special US envoy with Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif in London to discuss the California tragedy are baseless and incorrect," the statement said.
Quoting sources Daily Mail reported, "American officials have now held crisis talks with one of Pakistan's most senior figures Shahbaz Sharif, brother of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, at the country's High Commission in London". - news@khaleejtimes.com
