Washington, Dec 3 (ANI): Former United States National Security Advisor General James Logan Jones has said Pakistani-American businessman, Mansoor Ijaz, involved in the Memo Gate scandal was his mere acquaintance.
This comes contrary to Ijaz's claims in several interviews that Jones was a close friend of his.
Talking about the memo controversy, Jones said he played a small part in it, adding that Ijaz is a 'Pakistani American' who lives in Europe and remains involved in the affairs of Pakistan.
He is an acquaintance and on May 10, I asked him to deliver a letter to Mullen, The Nation quoted Jones, as saying.
Jones did not say that the letter was initiated by Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari or former Ambassador to the US Husain Haqqani.
Asked if Ijaz was considered credible in the US National Security Council, Jones only said he was a mere acquaintance. (ANI)
