US helps Pakistan corruption probe
The military government in Pakistan has said the United States has given its assurance that it will help in efforts to trace those accused of corruption.
The announcement was made by the Foreign Minister, Abdul Sattar.
It coincides with the revelation that Pakistan's anti-corruption organisation,the National Accountability Bureau, had asked Interpol to track down a former navy chief, Admiral Mansurul Haq.
Admiral Haq is believed to be in the United States.
The prosecutors said they would soon formally request the extradition of the admiral, who stepped down more than two years ago in relation to certain defence deals.
The BBC correspondent in Islamabad says it's the first time the military government has targetted such a senior officer on corruption
