ISLAMABAD (AP) — Pakistan’s ex-envoy to the United States has formally denied any connection to a memo sent to Washington asking for its help in preventing a purported army coup.
Husain Haqqani stated a repetition of his frequent denials before a Supreme Court commission investigating the origin of memo. It convened for its first session Monday.
The probe could add to pressure on the shaky civilian government, especially if it states that President Asif Ali Zardari knew about the memo. He denies that.
Haqqani resigned over the memo under pressure from the powerful army, despite his denials of involvement.
