January 7th, 2012 - 12:27 am ICT by IANSIslamabad, Jan 6 (IANS) A lawyer representing Pakistani American businessman Mansoor Ijaz Friday submitted his BlackBerry personal identification number to the commission probing the memo scandal.
The commission had sought phone records related to the memo controversy from the Research in Motion - the Canada-based service provider of BlackBerry Messenger.
Ijaz and former ambassador to the US Husain Haqqani had allegedly used the service to exchange messages.
