Pakistan’s foreign ministry on Friday described as “baseless and fabricated” the reports that Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari wrote a letter to the UAE authorities to expel journalist Arshad Sharif who was killed in Kenya.
Sharif, 49, fled Pakistan in August for the UAE and later went to Kenya where he was killed on Sunday night. The Kenyan police later said it was a case of “mistaken identity” during a search for a similar car involved in a child abduction case.
His death has created a storm in Pakistan where allegations are being traded among politicians, apparently to gain political mileage.
