New Delhi, April 25: Afghan Ambassador to India Shaida Abdali on Tuesday said that he has no information about the reported presence of Al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri in Pakistan.

"I have no information in this regard," Abdali said in response to a question after delivering an address on "Strengthening India-Afghanistan Strategic Relations in an Uncertain World" organised by the think tank Brookings India.

Newsweek magazine reported that al-Zawahiri is living under the protection of Pakistan's Inter Services Intelligence in the port city of Karachi after surviving a drone strike at a remote area near the border with Afghanistan.

Al-Zawahiri, an Egypt-born and trained surgeon, has been protected by the ISI since US forces evicted Al Qaeda from Afghanistan in late 2001, the report quoted sources as saying.
