#1 Is Pakistain's ambassador to Washington, Husain Haqqani any relation to the much-maligned Sirajuddin Haqqani of the Haqqani hard boy network I wonder?

Or are the first names the family name?

#2 I don't think there's any close relation. I think it's a clan name, rather than a family name.

#3 I recall that Mansoor Ijaz often appeared as a commentator on Fox News a few years ago.

In 2006, in an interview with Gulf News, he made the world exclusive claim that Iran already had a nuclear bomb and that US think-tanks were already formulating strategies to overthrow the Iranian Government.

Ijaz was a little premature in his assessment.
