US denies role in General Zia's plane crash | The US has rejected allegations that it was in any way involved in the plane crash that killed former president Zia-ul-Haq and several top Pakistani officials. US embassy spokesman Richard Snelsire denied former Intelligence Bureau
chief Brigadier (retired) Imtiaz Ahmed's claims that the US was behind the crash,
adding that, "[other] allegations that the US tried to influence or stall the
investigations are baseless and untrue. We reject all such allegations." The then
US Ambassador in Pakistan was killed in the 1988 incident therefore, the US will
always favour getting to the actual facts, sources said. Zia-ul-Haq's elder son
Ejaz-ul-Haq had alleged that the US forcefully stopped the probe into the incident
of plane crash. Ahmed said the US and internal powers were behind the 1988 plane
crash that killed General Zia-ul-Haq, who ruled Pakistan from 1978 till his death. |
