ISLAMABAD: Minister for Information Muhammad Ali Durrani categorically dismissed involvement of Pakistan in the last year 7/7 London suicide bombing besides promising complete cooperation in the investigation process.

In an interview to BBC on Friday the Information Minister dismissed the impression that the recent videotape of the accused London bomber Tanvir Shahzad was prepared in Pakistan.

The latest video released show by Tanveer Shahzad threatening further attacks.

Mentioning of the scores of Pakistani security personnel who have laid their lives he stressed that Pakistan is playing the role of a frontline state in the international war on terror. "Pakistan is herself subject to terrorist activities", he added.

He said, "If any one has any prove of Pakistan's involvement in suicide bomb attacks in London than he must provide it to the government. Pakistani government will fully cooperate in investigations as it has been doing earlier".

It is worth mentioning that earlier on the British investigators have been alleging that attacker Tanvir Shahzad visited Pakistan prior to the attacks and held meeting with Al-Qaeda members besides getting educated at a religious seminary.

Information Minister strictly denied the charges saying that the attacker was bred and educated in Britain and was radicalized in UK.
