The commission also directed Mansoor Ijaz to appear before the commission on the same date at 9 am via video link from the Pakistani High Commission in London. Earlier, Ijaz told the commission that there was a real threat of a military coup in Pakistan following the Abbottabad raid, adding that he decided to forward the memo to General James Jones after that.
