Oh, it was Just Global Paki-Bashing

"We deny categorically any links between Pakistani nationals and Sharm el-Sheikh blasts," says Egypt’s ambassador to Pakistan Hussein Haridy – echoing the Pakistani president earlier today.

Yesterday, the police were exchanging gun-fire with four Bedouins whom they said were hiding two of the Pakistani’s suspected for involvement in the Sharm El-Sheik terrorist attack. Today, Haridy said the six Pakistanis were being sought for their own security. "This is a routine security check that happens anywhere in the world."

Pakistan also denied any Pakistani link to the London attacks earlier this month. Three of the four London bombers were Britons of Pakistani descent. Visits by at least two of the bombers to the country are under investigation.
