The Memo Commission & Mansoor Ijaz


During his cross-examination via video link from London, Mansoor opened a Pandora s box by claiming that the US helicopters were in touch with Pakistani air defence and control at the time of launching the Abbottabad operation to kill Osama bin Laden. Mansoor submitted documents to support his allegation. The Memo Commission asked Mansoor to hand over all the documents to the Secretary Commission who was present at the Pakistani High Commission in London where the testimony was recorded. The Secretary would hand over the sealed documents to the Memo Commission. The documents comprise data of Pakistani air traffic control following the US raid on the compound of Osama bin Laden in Abbottabad and the data of communication between American helicopter pilots, said a report.  The report said Mansoor also included text of purported conversation between President Zardari and COAS Gen Kayani after the OBL raid. Mansoor said that then ambassador Haqqani was of the expressed view that likelihood of mutiny in the Pakistan Army was very high following the Abbottabad raid that killed Osama bin Laden. He also said the chances of coup were high as ISI chief Gen Pasha was visiting foreign countries, and he handed over the memo to Mike Mullen after Gen Pasha s one of such visits.
