A Pakistani judicial commission has concluded that the country's former Ambassador to the US, Husain Haqqani, was behind a mysterious memo that sought US help to stave off a feared coup and said he was not loyal to the country while serving as an envoy.

The Supreme Court-appointed commission's findings were made public as a nine-judge bench headed by Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry began examining the panel's report this morning. The report said Haqqani was not loyal to Pakistan while serving as the envoy in the US and had sought to undermine the security of the country's nuclear assets, the armed forces, the Inter-Services Intelligence and the Constitution.

The panel further concluded that the alleged memo was authentic and was drafted on Haqqani's instructions.

It concluded that Haqqani had sought US support through the memo and that he had wanted to head a new national security set-up. The panel further said Haqqani had not accounted for two million US Dollrs spent from a secret fund of the Pakistani Embassy in Washington. The apex court adjourned the matter for two weeks and directed Haqqani to appear in person at the next hearing. It also issued notices to all parties involved in the case. The bench directed authorities to make the judicial commission’s report public.

Haqqani is currently in the US, was forced to quit after Pakistani-American businessman Mansoor Ijaz made the memo public last year.
