UNB, Dhaka

A spokesman for the Foreign Ministry Saturday outright dismissed some reports in the Indian media alleging involvement of a Bangladesh-based extremist group in the recent Assam serial bombings.

"The allegations are totally baseless and, as in the past, have no evidence to back them up," the spokesman said.

He said Bangladesh has adopted the strictest measures against terrorists and would never allow her territory to be used to aid attacks on other countries.

"This is no time for finger-pointing without proof. Instead, all efforts should be directed at apprehending culprits and bringing them to justice. Bangladesh has strongly condemned these acts of cowardice, and shares the pain of the people of India at this sad horror," the spokesman said.
