Former Ambassador Hussain Haqqani in hot waters yet again

ISLAMABAD - Former Pakistan Ambassador to United States Hussain Haqqani lands in hot waters yet again.

Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has approached the Interpol to repatriate former Pakistani ambassador to the United States, Hussain Haqqani, alleged in Memogate scandal, on Thursday.

FIA also submitted a special charge sheet against the former ambassador in the Supreme Court. The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) transferred the Supreme Court-accorded authority for Haqqani’s arrest to the FIA again.

Amicus curiae (friend of the court) informed the Supreme Court that under the given authority, the FIA has approached the international police organization for Haqqani’s extradition who has fled abroad.

In the last hearing, a top court bench had ordered FIA to release itself from the task of bringing Hussain Haqqani back while handing over the task to the anti-graft watchdog.
