"We have no information about his coordinates, or if he is dead or alive," foreign ministry spokeswoman Tasneem Aslam said at the weekly press briefing.

She was speaking after a French newspaper on Saturday quoted a leaked French intelligence report alleging the Al-Qaeda terrorist leader had died of typhoid.

She also rejected as "absolutely baseless" a British newspaper's allegation that a peace deal signed recently by the Pakistani government with pro-Taliban tribesmen in a lawless area on the border with Afghanistan became possible after fugitive Taliban leader Mullah Mohammad Omar approved of it.
