China has not received official notification from Pakistan on the reported arrest of the chief plotter behind the June terrorist attack in which two Chinese citizens were killed, the foreign ministry said Friday.
Foreign ministry spokesman Hong Lei said the Chinese embassy in Pakistan will continue to verify the information, reported Xinhua.
