KARACHI: American businessman Mansoor Ijaz said on Saturday that former US national security adviser James Jones’s information pertaining to Husain Haqqani’s role in the memo affair was incorrect, DawnNews reported.

In the statement issued to media outlets, Ijaz claimed he had called several times on Haqqani’s Blackberry and had also contacted him on the hotel’s phone. The record of all these calls is available, said Ijaz.

He further stated that he had spoken to Haqqani regarding the memo quite a few times and that it was Haqqani who had asked him to write the memo.

Ijaz rejected Jones’s claim that Haqqani had no knowledge of the memo that was sent to US Admiral Mike Mullen.
