Pakistan 'offered surge in US boots on ground in return for helping oust generals' Mr Ijaz said Islamabad was prepared to allow access to Osama bin Laden's three wives, help in tracking down Mullah Omar and Ayman al-Zawahiri, leaders of the Afghan Taliban and al-Qaeda respectively, and to disband the ISI's notorious S Wing - believed to retain links to militant groups. "He (Haqqani) further offered that Pakistan would agree on an additional discipline as regard to the nuclear programme," said Mr Ijaz. Mr Haqqani resigned in November last year after being recalled from Washington as the scandal threatened to undermine Pakistan's crisis-riddled civilian leadership. He has denied the claims. The memo was delivered to Admiral Mike Mullen, then the US Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, days after the May 2 raid to kill Osama bin Laden. Pakistan's generals were deeply embarrassed by revelations that the world's most wanted man was hiding in plain sight, in a military town barely 30 miles from Islamabad. They also apparently failed to detect the US helicopters as they penetrated deep inside Pakistan. Their humiliation prompted many to believe the government could use the episode to rein in the reach of a military which has seized power three times since independence and remains a force behind the throne. Details of the memo emerged in October and, combined with a chronic economic crisis and a second legal challenge, triggered a stand-off between military and civilian leaders. Mr Ijaz's testimony is expected to continue for several days.
