News Desk: A Pakistani judicial commission, which is probing the Memogate scandal, claimed that former ambassador to the US, Husain Haqqani, was behind the mysterious memo that sought help from US fearing a military coup.


The report submitted in the Supreme Court said that Husain Haqqani was not loyal to the country while serving as ambassador to the US. The panel said that the alleged memo was authentic and it was drafted on his instructions.


It concluded that Haqqani had sought US support through the memo and that he had wanted to head a new national security set-up. The panel further said Haqqani had not accounted for $ 2 million spent from a secret fund of the Pakistani Embassy in Washington.


The Supreme Court-appointed commission's findings are being examined. The report was presented before the court in a sealed envelope. The hearing in the case was adjourned for two weeks and the court directed Haqqani to appear before it at next hearing.   


The apex court has also issued the notices to all the respondents of memo scandal.


The mysterious memo scandal had created storm in politics in Pakistan last year. Even Haqqani was forced to resign after American businessman Mansoor Ijaz made public the alleged memo in October last year.


Ijaz had alleged that Haqqani had asked him to deliver a secret memo to the US on Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari's behalf seeking US assistance in the event of a coup after al Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden was killed.
