LONDON: The US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) paid Pakistan millions of dollars for handing over more than 350 suspected al-Qaeda terrorists to the United States, President Pervez Musharraf has said, a US magazine reported on Monday.
The assertions come in Musharrafââ¬â¢s upcoming memoir "In the Line of Fire", it added.
Musharraf does not reveal how much Pakistan was paid for the Al-Qaeda suspects he ordered should be handed over to the United States.
Musharraf also writes that he was so angered by American demands in the wake of the September 11 attacks.
He said that two days after the attacks, the US Ambassador to Pakistan brought to him a set of seven demands including "blanket over flight and landing rights" and "use of
Pakistan's naval ports, air bases, and strategic locations on borders".
