The Supreme Court has said it would like to probe the fate of hundreds of Pakistanis who were caught and handed over to the US for bounty after the September 11 attacks in the United States, as claimed by former military ruler Gen Pervez Musharraf in his 2006 book In the Line of Fire.
A three-judge bench of the apex court, headed by Justice Jawwad S. Khawaja, directed Additional Attorney-General Tariq Khokhar to file excerpts from Musharraf’s book which alluded to the handing over of Pakistanis to foreign powers in exchange for bounty.
During the hearing, the court observed that apparently, there are two editions of former army chief’s book. “If I recall correctly, the first edition of the book had a mention in this regard,” Justice Jawwad remarked, adding that the bench would examine who were these people and to whom they were handed over.
A senior law officer said it could have serious implications for Musharraf, if handing over of citizens to any foreign country could be proved through the book.
