Pakistan has yet to receive direct evidence linking Osama bin Laden to the September 11th attacks on the US, the country’s Foreign Ministry said after a meeting between the US ambassador and Pakistan's president today.

Ambassador Wendy Chamberlin discussed the status of the investigation with Pakistan’s President Pervez Musharraf, Foreign Ministry spokesman Mr Riaz Mohammad Khan told a news conference.

"The U.S. ambassador did meet the president today, and she informed the President about the status of the investigations," he said.

"We have yet to receive any detailed evidence with regard to persons responsible for the horrendous acts... and their linkages with al Qaeda [and] Osama bin Laden," he said.
