Islamabad:
Pakistan has been declared the first-ever "World Heritage Country" to mark April Fools' Day, according to a spoof in cyberspace.
"On 31st March, the United Nation has selected Pakistan as the world's first World Heritage Nation. In a glowing ceremony held at UN Head Quarter in New York, the UNO chief Osama Bin Laden has conferred this award to Pakistan," reads a fictional news story on thespoof.com.
Pakistan has been a favourite target of spoof writers with about a dozen pages dedicated to the country. The latest spoof is a take on UNESCO's declaration of world heritage sites to protect and preserve them.
"In a short message on its website, UNO has stated that Pakistan is the birthplace of all jihadi movements taking place in different parts of the world. Also, he mentioned that Pakistan is the only country which gives highest civilian award to terrorists," reads the story by "lostinrandomworld".
"However, many countries have opposed this move of United Nations. These countries have contended that they should have looked at some other countries too, for example Iran, North Korea, and probably Libya."
