Fearing arrest, Pakistani-American businessman Mansoor Ijaz, the central figure in the memo scandal, today said he would not visit Islamabad to depose before a judicial panel probing the matter and wants his testimony to be recorded either in London or Zurich.
Ijaz, who triggered a confrontation between Pakistan’s civilian government and the powerful military by making public a secret memo that sought the US help to stave off a feared coup in Pakistan last year, said in a statement that he was willing to depose before the Supreme Court-appointed commission in London or Zurich.
