Ijaz refuses to visit Pakistan over security concerns
2012-01-25
[Dawn] A day before his scheduled appearance before the memo investigation commission, Pak-American businessman Mansoor Ijaz refused on Monday to come to Pakistain and said his statement should be recorded and evidence received from him abroad.
Once inside Pakistain he would be assassinated PDQ, since the govt said the other day they're not going out of their way to give him protection...
Better unprotected by the Government of the Pure than protected into the grave by them.
After the development, former ambassador to US Husain Haqqani requested the commission to suspend Ijaz's right to give a statement because of his continuous absence.

In an application submitted to the commission through his lawyer Akram Sheikh, Ijaz expressed willingness to hand over all documents allegedly connecting Haqqani with the memorandum addressed to former US military chief Mike Mullen.

He said the entire commission or one of its members should visit an appointed place outside Pakistain to take into possession the original, 'untampered' Blackberry handsets, recorded messages, emails, call logs and handwritten notes and record his oral testimony.
