Daily Ummat

Daily Ummat

"The Daily Ummat" is an Urdu conservative Islamist newspaper published in Karachi, Pakistan that has become famous for its investigative reporting, rare in Urdu journalism.

The Daily Ummat is known for interviewing Osama bin Laden shortly after the 9/11 attack. In the interview he declares that: "I have already said that I am not involved in the 11 September attacks in the United States. As a Muslim, I try my best to avoid telling a lie. I had no knowledge of these attacks, nor do I consider the killing of innocent women, children and other humans as an appreciable act. Islam strictly forbids causing harm to innocent women, children and other people. Such a practice is forbidden even in the course of a battle.

However, the validity of the interview with Osama Bin Laden has come under question as the reporter never actually met Bin Laden, but merely sent written questions to the Taliban government (at that time in power in Afghanistan and facing an attack from the US/UN) and received written replies.
