Elusive Dossier

An interesting episode at the end of my session with Latif was when they dropped me off at the Charing Cross station. Latif was sitting in the back-seat with his dossier and Younus kept telling him good-naturedly not to keep it so close to a journalist or he would snatch it and run off. But Latif allowed me a good look at the photostats of the cheques to Salim Malik which Latif got hold of from Dubai after a lot of sleuthing. My look was, however, not good enough to register the bank name, the exact date, etc. I also got brief glimpses of letters and margin notes on those letters. Latif himself turned sentimental when he spoke of the reason for his not being in the current Pakistan team. "They have branded me as MQM. Does it mean we are not Pakistanis?" he said. My advice to Latif would be to dig in for a fight. I personally think Rashid baby has dynamite and he can be the lone gunman with all cylinders blazing.
