Pakistan Militants Deny Bin Laden Tie

CNN reports:

A member of a Pakistani-based militant group is denying a New York Times report that stated that a cellphone found during the raid of Osama bin Laden's compound contains information that links the group to bin Laden.

The member of Harakat-ul-Mujahedeen said he was not aware of support his group gave bin Laden during the years the boss of al Qaeda was hiding out at a home in Abbottabad, Pakistan.

The statement by the man, who did not want his name used because no one in his group is authorized to speak to the media, differs from a recent New York Times report.
