Clarification

Published November 7, 2006

ISLAMABAD, Nov 6: In response to a news reported in a section of press about arrest of a few PAF officers in connection with last month’s Islamabad-Rawalpindi rockets case, Pakistan Air Force clarifies that none of its personnel is involved in this incident nor has any one been taken into custody for questioning. The baseless news has been published with ulterior motives and violates journalistic ethics. The newspapers which have carried this news have demonstrated editorial irresponsibility by publishing the news without clarification from the organisation being named. Pakistan Air Force had also issued a categorical denial on Oct 16 in response to similar news items which originated in foreign press.
