Former chairman Fisheries Nisar Morai has confessed before a JIT that the assassination plot of former chairman Steel Mills Sajjad Hussain was hatched in Clifton.
He said his friendship with Zulfiqar Mirza lasted for 18 years. Morai also admitted to recruiting 200 ghost employees in his department besides providing money and weapons to Uzair Baloch.
Morai said he met with Faryal Talpur several times but never met Asif Ali Zardari. He said Mirza had held a meeting with MQM-H chairman Afaq Ahmed in central jail and handed over 20 licences on Badin quota.
Meanwhile, the National Accountability Bureau has decided to interrogate Morai and Uzair Baloch on charges of arms smuggling and money laundering. A NAB spokesman said both the accused would be interrogated after seeking a formal permission. Sources said that Morai was also accused of sending Rs 9 billion abroad.
