WASHINGTON: Former US National Security Advisor, General James Jones said that he had known Mansoor Ijaz since 2006 and was contacted by him a few days prior to May 9, Geo News reported.
It is pertinent to mention here that Ijaz claims he was first contacted by Husain Haqqani on May 9.
Jones said he was informed by Ijaz that he had a message from the top leadership of Pakistan and that he wanted to send it to Admiral Mike Mullen.
Jones adds Ijaz never used the name of Husain Haqqani during their conversation and that he informed Ijaz that he could not pass on a verbal message.
Jones claims that in his opinion Haqqani had no knowledge about the memo.
On May 9, Jones said that he received an email from Ijaz and added that he thought the memo was written by Ijaz himself.
According to Jones, the type of language used in the memo was similar to how Ijaz would speak.
