Pakistan dismisses Qaeda terror plot report
(AFP) – 37 minutes ago

ISLAMABAD — Pakistan on Wednesday dismissed leaked Western intelligence reports purporting to have uncovered an Al-Qaeda plot hatched by extremists in Pakistan to attack Britain, France and Germany.

"We don't have any credible information from sources that any such planning is taking place or terrorists are planning anything in North Waziristan," military spokesman Major General Athar Abbas told AFP.

Media in Britain and the United States said the militants were planning simultaneous strikes in London and major cities in France and Germany.

It was "one of the most serious Al-Qaeda attack plans in recent years" and was inspired by the terror group's fugitive leadership in Pakistan's tribal areas, said the BBC.
