Pakistan Foreign Min Ducks ‘Osama Bin Laden A Martyr?’

In yet another admission that his country harbours terrorists, Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi ducked a question on Al Qaeda terrorist Osama Bin Laden. In an interview with Afghanistan’s news channel TOLOnews on June 19, he was asked for his opinion on Pakistan PM Imran Khan describing Bin Laden as a “martyr”. Claiming that Khan was “quoted out of context”, he blamed a “particular section of the media” for playing this news up. Pressed further to give his take on the terrorist, Qureshi replied, “I will let that pass”.
