No Pakistanis involved in Red Sea blasts-Egypt envoy 26 Jul 2005 06:36:20 GMT Source: Reuters ISLAMABAD, July 26 (Reuters) - The Egyptian ambassador to Pakistan on Tuesday denied reports that Pakistani nationals were involved in the weekend bomb attacks in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheikh that killed at least 64 people. The ambassador, Hussein Haridy, said six Pakistanis being sought by Egyptian police had nothing to do with the blasts. "We deny categorically any links between Pakistani nationals and Sharm el-Sheikh blasts," Haridy told Reuters. "As far as Pakistan is concerned, it is categorically denied, and about other foreign nationals the investigations are going on," he added. Egyptian security sources had said that police were searching for the Pakistanis to find out why they had disappeared after the bombings. Haridy said the six Pakistanis were being sought for their own security. "This is a routine security check that happens anywhere in the world." The news of suspected involvement of Pakistanis in the Sharm el-Sheikh blasts came after Pakistani officials bridled at media reports linking Pakistan to the July 7 bomb attacks on London that killed at least 56 people. Three of the four London bombers were Britons of Pakistani descent and the fourth was a Briton of Jamaican origin. Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf, a key ally in the U.S.-led war on terrorism, has said there is no evidence so far to link the London attacks to Pakistan, although visits by at least two of the bombers to the country are under investigation.
