Former Pakistani Ambassador Husain Haqqani could face death by hanging if an investigation into whether he committed “high treason” finds him guilty. He’s been accused of sending a memo to U.S. military authorities asking them to intervene against the Pakistani military after the raid that killed Osama bin Laden. Pakistani media say Mansour Ijaz, the man who exposed the memo, was friends with Haqqani and allegedly betrayed his trust after the ISI discovered the memo.
