ISLAMABAD, June 14: Pakistan’s Information Minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed denied on Tuesday a newspaper report that he ran training camps for Kashmiri militants fighting Indian rule in the country. “I never ran any militant camp. I have nothing to with any militancy or guerilla warfare,” Mr Rashid told Reuters.
He said he had provided shelter to Kashmiri separatist leader, Yasin Malik, and other Kashmiris when they arrived in Pakistan after an insurgency erupted in held Kashmir in 1989.
“Being a Kashmiri, I have to provide them bread and butter. But there was nothing more than that,” he said.
Mr Malik, one of nine separatist leaders in Pakistan to discuss the future of the Himalayan region with leaders of Pakistan and Azad Kashmir, said he was misquoted in the report.
“It is unfortunate. I never spoke of gun or training camps with regard to Sheikh Rashid (Ahmed),” Malik told Reuters. “What I have said is that ... he provided hospitality when we were just on the roadside.”

eheheehe..
This is just the kind of vieled language they like to use.
Before 9/11 they maintained that they provided no more than "political and moral support" to a number of these groups. In the aftermath of WTC and the declaration of a number of these groups being lebelled as al-keeda or being in cahoots with al-keeda, suddenly theres complete absence of the term "political and moral support" being used anywhere.
Mushy too loved to put his foot in the mouth. Remember when during his Agra summit he infamously attempted a media coup?
When asked about the civilian casualties being caused in Kashmir by terrorists (he actually shot his mouth off and referred to them as "our boys"..LOL) in the name of freedom... he replied that like in any war "
Collateral Damage" was to be expected.!! I suppose WTC was a "collatera damage" as well.
Now he says he was "misinterpreted" and "misquoted".
I would have so loved it if everytime he went to the west and proclaimed his support against terror, a video of the press conference could be flashed.
Sheikh Rashid is playing the same tune..
