Briefcase 1 Pakistan rejects allegations of involvement in Dhaka attack. Pakistan today rejected allegations of its involvement in the Dhaka terrorist attack, calling the reports "baseless, irresponsible and provocative" and blamed the Indian media for its "malicious intent" in blaming Islamabad for the killing of 20 people on Friday. Being itself one of the biggest victims of terrorism, Pakistan welcomes Prof Gowher Rizvi’s call for international cooperation to fight the menace of terrorism," it added. Rizvi is believed to have contacted Pakistan's High Commissioner to Bangladesh to deny that he issued any statement against Pakistan. Terror group Islamic State said it was responsible for the attack, but that claim has yet to be confirmed.
