WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Pakistani Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz on Sunday ridiculed as "bizarre" a U.S. report that senior al Qaeda leaders were killed in a CIA attack on a home along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border.

"There is no evidence, as of half an hour ago, that there were any other people there," Aziz said on CNN's "Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer."

"The area does see movement of people from across the border. But we have not found one body or one shred of evidence that these people were there."

U.S. counterterrorism officials have said they believe the January 13 attack killed four to eight al Qaeda-affiliated "foreigners" attending a dinner meeting. Knowledgeable sources have said that their bodies were removed from the scene by comrades and buried elsewhere. (Full story)

Tens of thousands of Pakistanis have taken to the streets in cities nationwide to express outrage about the attack, which killed more than a dozen civilians, including women and children.



Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz said no evidence indicates al Qaeda leaders were killed in a CIA airstrike.


...It isn't bizarre it is USA Propaganda....

1. You don't really believe the Bush regime would lie do you?

I mean don't they always tell the truth?

[NanceGreggs]

2. Possible explanation ...

"But we have not found one body or one shred of evidence that these people were there."

RAPTURED?

[tanyev]

23. Bite your tongue!

Them heathen Muslim extremists don't get to be raptured. Only obnoxious, self-righteous Christian extremists are worthy of that glory!

[JeffR]

3. Poor Pervez

When he got in bed with Preznit PNACchio, he had no idea what a rough ride it would be.

[0rganism]

4. "Knowledgeable sources have said"

Propaganda keywords

[Maggie_May]

5. The American people being lied too

I'm just shocked.
:sarcasm:

[Dr.Phool]

6. What's even more bizzare is

The 8 invisible guys were all the Number 3 guy's in Al Queda!

They were having the #3 convention there!

[jobycom]

7. Diplomatic word meaning "lie."

[Threedifferentones]

8. Not that I don't think Bushco would lie about this or anything else but

the Pakistani government is just as likely to lie as our own leaders. To be fair, we'll probably never know who actually died in the attack.

[leftchick]

10. we do know women and children died

I am sorry, I mean collateral damage.

[jsamuel]

9. McCain supported this action, EVERYBODY

[PBass]

11. I don't believe anything Bushco says about the war, any more

They have lied so many times about the war, and lied so consistently, that I just don't believe a word they're saying anymore.

[natrat]

12. it's almost like they are a lower species and lack any honesty

[teryang]

13. Way to destabilize your "ally"

Dumb as a box of rocks.

[ucmike]

14. they have camera drones, just like missile drones

why wouldn't they have filmed the mysterious body removers? they just fired missiles, slapped a bunch of high fives and then miller time?

seems that there are "after action reports" of everything else, but a missle attack in a uninvolved sovereign county gets nothing in the way of follow up?

[Roy]

15. This incident has Fox News asking the question.....

"Do REALLY need Paskistans' help in the war on terror?

Probably preparing their brain dead folowers into believing the US dropped Pakistan, in case the Pakistanis force their paid for leader into pulling out of the PNAC effort.

[Moderator]

16. kick

17. Pakistan PM disputes U.S. claims over airstrike

Pakistan has strongly refuted U.S. claims that an airstrike in the country last week killed a number of al-Qaeda leaders.

Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz said on Sunday the air-raid was carried out by the United States, not by Pakistan, and that his country was not even aware it was taking place, despite the fact it was on Pakistan soil, and despite an agreement between the two countries binding them to collabarate on military action beyond the Afghan border.

Aziz ridiculed claims by the U.S. military that between four and 8 al-Qaeda operatives were killed in the attack. "We have not found one body or one shred of evidence that these people were there," he told Wolf Blitzer on CNN's Late Edition

18. What would you call a nation that went into another country, killed

13 citizens of that country, without that country's knowledge or permission?

Now me, I'd call that state TERRORISM.

Funny thing, international & US law call it that, too.

[Garbo 2004]

21. I'm not so sure the Pakistani gov't was totally out of the loop as they

claim and that they haven't cooperated or at least turned a blind eye to US incursions in the past. They've been bought and paid for and they play both sides. It's to their benefit to be "shocked, shocked" before their own populace, given that the relationship with Bushco has never been popular at home.

[LynnTheDem]

24. I gotta disagree wit'cha there. Mushie knows he will be dead as a

doornail...seriously dead...if it ever became public knowledge he gave the ok for the US to bomb Pakistan.

The vast majority (like 98% last polls) of Pakistanis hate our frigging guts. There's already been 3 assassination attempts on Mushie. He's not stupid; I don't believe he'd take such a risk.

But hey who knows.

[Garbo 2004]

25. He's walking a tightrope. But the US bombed last year and I don't

recall Pakistan complaining about it as they are now. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10303175/

But I also don't recall the populace was out in protest about it at the time. They are now and as a result the Pakistani government is "outraged" unlike last year. Which is why I think they're now more likely pandering to their populace.

[pinniped]

27. Now it's four and eight?

Shit, all the other propaganda articles were spouting four or five dead terra dudes.

These dead invisible terra dudes multiply like rabbits.

[IsItJustMe]

19. They did kill a cow

I saw some reported poctures of the area of the bombing after it had occurred on CNN and I know I saw a dead cow.

I am suprised no one noticed it.

[Bhaisahab]

20. oh yeah. the cow. it was the #3 operative

of the dreaded al-cowda.

[loudsue]

22. Al-Cowda!!!

:rofl:

[pinniped]

26. Duh, that's cuz their terra buddies took all four or five bodies away...

immediately to conceal the 'real' reason for the attack.

Guilty.

[Marie26]

28. And then promptly decided to inform the US military!

Right...
