Pakistan SC orders probe into memogate scandal
The Supreme Court also ordered the three-member commission to complete the investigation in four weeks. The memogate scandal pertains to a memo delivered by Pakistani-American businessman Mansoor Ijaz to the Pentagon with a plea for US help to stave off a feared military coup after the raid that killed Osama bin Laden in May.
The court's ruling came after a series of petitions was filed before it seeking a probe into the scandal. While the government had opposed such a probe, the powerful military as well as the ISI wanted an investigation.
