Pakistani-American businessman Mansoor Ijaz, the key respondent in the Memogate scandal claimed that he is in contact with agencies of 24 different countries, Express News reported on Thursday .
When asked to name the countries of whose agencies Ijaz had contacts with, he refused to answer, terming it an irrelevant question.
During cross-examination by Husain Haqqani’s counsel Zahid Bokhari, Ijaz said that even though he had written an article alleging Dr Abdul Qadeer Khan of stealing nuclear secrets, he was not inherently against Pakistan's nuclear program.
Justice Qazi Faez Isa, head of the judicial commission investigating the matter, said that the telephone records submitted to the commission confirmed contacts between Ijaz and Haqqani.
Mansoor Ijaz's family receiving death threats
It was reported earlier that Ijaz had received messages from unknown numbers with death threats for his daughter.
US police took his cell phone in order to trace the numbers from which the threats were sent, and launched an investigation into the matter.
Haqqani's legal team in a press release though dismissed the threats as 'stories'.

Lol! Keep tryin' ol' boy. Attention sod.
And to think that ISI chief went all the way to London to meet such a baloney. What the heck. We now know what is Pasha/Kayani's intentions in this whole episode. That has nothing to do with treason by anyone.
Yea sure, proves he need mental health counseling
Fool me once shame on you --- fool me twice shame on me. Ijaz fooled the American's and now his name is mud --- would you pick him to represent you if you were trying to illicit a favor - if so you deserve to be put out of office.
"Ijaz said that even though he had written an article alleging Dr Abdul Qadeer Khan of stealing nuclear secrets, he was not inherently against Pakistan’s nuclear program." Good news, he is not against Pakistan, army, ISI, govt, or nuclear program, he only writes against it and spits venom about it on TV. He is confessing to be related to two dozen foreign agancies, yet our SC and HC would go to any lenght to authenticate his statements. How many judges of high judiciary are chasing and fooled by this infamous agent?
@Nadir: He's gotta prove he's a big important man don't ya know.
What? 24 countries have been duped by him? This is getting ridiculous, if its not relevant then why mention it?
