BAJAUR AGENCY: Tribal Chiefs and political representatives of Federally Administrative Tribal Area (FATA) on Monday rejected the US secret agencies report regarding presence of Osama Bin Laden in tribal areas saying that the report is sheer propaganda of US agencies and is contrary to facts.

In a statement issued here Monday, member of Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA) in National Assembly Sahibzada Haroon Rashid, President of Pakistan Peoples Party in Bajaur and Provincial of PPP Shahabuddin said that the broadcasting of news regarding the presence of Osama Bin Laden in Tribal Areas was an attempt to degrade the chieftains.

Over the broadcasting of Osama’s presence in Tribal areas, they appealed to the government to lodge protest with US, adding that Osama never had come in Tribal Areas and ruled out his presence in the said area.

Lauding the peace loving people of the area, they vowed to support the government in this regard, adding that the anti-state elements would not be tolerated.

Referring to the statement, they said it is an attempt to create a systematic uncertainty and anarchy in the area by broadcasting false statements.

They asked International Court of Justice to take action against US for launching attack without any proof by violating human rights in the tribal areas.
