Jones believes memo written by Ijaz Mansoor himself

Former US National Security Adviser Gen James Jones has declared the controversial memo as unreliable, saying he thought it had been written by Mansoor Ijaz, instead of Hussain Haqqani. General Jones said that he had known Mansoor Ijaz since 2006 and was contacted by him a few days prior to May 9, a private channel reported on Friday. It is pertinent to mention here that Ijaz claims he was first contacted by Haqqani on May 9. Jones said he was informed by Ijaz that he had a message from the top leadership of Pakistan and that he wanted to send it to Admiral Mike Mullen. Jones added that Ijaz never used the name of Haqqani during their conversation and that he informed Ijaz that he could not pass on a verbal message. He claims that in his opinion Haqqani had no knowledge about the memo. On May 9, Jones said he received an email from Ijaz, and he thought the memo was written by Ijaz himself. According to Jones, the type of language used in the memo was similar to how Ijaz would speak. The three-page testimony of the former senior US official, covering 11 points, informs that the memo flaunted an exclusive style typical of Mansoor Ijaz, and would be presented to the Supreme Court by Asma Jehangir on Monday.
