ISLAMABAD: A spokesman for the Interior Ministry on Monday clarified that Interior Minister Rehman Malik did not allege any country, including Israel, for involvement in Karachi unrest.

He said that some of the electronic and print media had misinterpreted the minister’s statement.

He clarified that the federal minister stated only that “some weapons of Israeli origin have been recovered by law enforcers in Karachi from some of the criminals.”

The spokesman said that a section of media has misreported the minister’s statement.
