UNITED NATIONS, Jan 20 (Reuters) -
No evidence has yet turned up of al Qaeda figures among the dead when a U.S. missile killed at least 18 people in a remote part of Pakistan, the South Asian nation's prime minister said on Friday.
"As of an hour ago, when I last checked with our relevant security agencies who are combing the area,
they have not found any tangible evidence that a particular group or any individual was there,"Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz said.
Both the government and the people of Pakistan have condemned the Jan. 13 attack but will continue to look for victims and investigate their iden ies, Aziz told a news conference after talks with U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan.
"We have been very active proponents and partners in the war against terror with the rest of the world, and we will continue to do so," he said during a U.S. visit that will take him to Washington next week.
