The threats were sent as messages to the cell phone of Ijaz's son.
The US police took the cell phone in order to trace the numbers that were sending the threats, and launched an investigation into the matter.
Ijaz had earlier claimed to have received several death threats himself after he announced that he would travel to Pakistan to appear before the judicial commission inquiring into the Memogate scandal.
Fearing for his life, Ijaz refused to come to Pakistan and is currently being cross-questioned in London by a judicial panel of the commission.

i am sure he can obtain private security for his daughter....with his ill-gotten wealth, what's the issue?
he is liar
If the people making the threats are as inept as the people accused in Memogate it won't be hard for the USA authorities to track them down.
The Pakistani media has nothing better to do then just keep on feeding the public with this kind of useless crap!
If MI and his family is not safe in the UK then he should stay in his native USA. I would not go to a place where I do not feel safe or is new to my family. In addition this case is in the court and he should not go public and media but to police. However, media is all MI has always been looking for. It is ironic that Salman Rushdie can be safe in the UK but MI cannot be despite all his claimed wealth!
Another publicity stint by the self proclaimed 'ultra rich'!
MI is a liar, fraud & con man & who can trust or believe his stories! He just want to stay in news one way or the other. WHY DO WE GIVE HIM ANY IMPORTANCE? Don't we have other important issues to discuss?
@MarkH: You make no sense my friend!
Yea Sure
The Mansoor-Haqqani saga has lost its importance, it is now viewed as a waste of time. If something had to done it would and should have been done by now. Our judicial system needs to understand the sentiments and frustration of the people and the need for urgency.
It must have come from a binami number of MI himself to be used as an excuse not to attend cross examination by HH's lawyer
This is shameful and sad. He should report it to police
Since they even went after his kid the general direction is obvious. But, since it means they are supporting Haqqani (not a bad thing, but still a factor) I'd have to say... PPP supporter(s) acting independently with the commonly seen and accepted Pakistani extremist mindset of it being for the greater good.
Why dose the media keep referring to him as a Pakistani-American? He was BORN and raised in America and is an American who is trying to scam the Pakistani people and government. What a waste of time and money!
Politics Pakistani style! But the callers are bound to be tracked down because US police is probing.
so now mansoor Ijaz is not available for cross examination to haqqani's Lawyer .
