Baku, May 7 (AZERTAC). A spokesman for the Pakistani Taliban has denied links to a man who has been charged in a failed car bomb attack in the heart of New York City`s entertainment district.

Azam Tariq told news agencies that his group has nothing to do with 30-year-old Faisal Shahzad, a Pakistani-American who was arrested earlier this week on a plane that was about to leave New York for Dubai. The Pakistani Taliban had claimed responsibility for Saturday`s attempted attack.

Also Thursday, Pakistani Interior Minister Rehman Malik told the Reuters news agency that it is unlikely that Shahzad acted alone, as the suspect reportedly told investigators. He also says Pakistan has not yet received a formal U.S. request for help, but his country is ready to provide full support in the investigation.
