| WASHINGTON: A Pakistani official was quoted here on Thursday as accusing Washington of concealing information about detainees from Pakistan held at Guantanamo. The list of the detainees obtained by the Associated Press (AP) contains the names of 22 Pakistanis. The Pakistani Interior Ministry official, “who is familiar with Pakistan’s efforts to secure the release of its nationals from Guantanamo,” told the news agency that as recently as last month, Pakistan thought only seven of its citizens were being held there. “According to the latest information provided to us by America, 22 Pakistanis are still detained there,” he said. “It is a fact that they have been concealing information from us about our people detained at Guantanamo Bay.” A Pakistan embassy official told this correspondent a couple of months ago that only three Pakistanis were now being held at Guantanamo. AP said, quoting the Interior Ministry official, that US officials recently shared the new information with Pakistan. It wasn’t clear if the additional inmates were detained more recently than the seven the Pakistani official mentioned. |
