ISLAMABAD – A spokesman for the
international aid group Save the Children
says the government of Pakistan has
allowed it to reopen its offices.
Saeed Ahmed, the group's spokesman in
Pakistan, says authorities removed a lock
Wednesday on the gate to the group's main
office in Islamabad.
That comes two weeks ago after the government accused the group of violating its own charter, without elaborating.
The group has been under intense scrutiny
in Pakistan due to local suspicion it was
connected to the May 2011 killing of al-
Qaida leader Osama bin Laden. The CIA
used a vaccination campaign run by a
Pakistani doctor to obtain DNA samples in Abbottabad, where bin Laden had been
hiding.
The group denies any link to the doctor
involved in the CIA operation.
