`Pak. official acknowledges support to terrorists'

NEW YORK, MAY 29. A senior Pakistani intelligence official has implicitly acknowledged Islamabad's support to terrorists in Kashmir but claimed that it was halted months ago.

``Ask me about the present, not about the past. I am certainly not allowing this to happen. On this, the world may rest assured,'' said the official in an interview published in the New York Times today.

Though the official was not identified, the paper said the President, Pervez Musharraf, in the agency shake-up appointed him. — PTI
