ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — The Supreme Court in Pakistan barred Husain Haqqani, the former ambassador to the United States, on Thursday from leaving the country as the court initiated an investigation into a controversial memo that led to the envoy’s resignation and has caused a political storm in the country.

Mr. Haqqani is considered supportive of strong U.S.-Pakistani relations, which has made him unpopular among some in Pakistan, and he also was known as a critic of the Pakistani military before he became ambassador.

A Pakistani court has banned the former envoy to the US Husain Haqqani from travelling abroad while his role in a row over a leaked memo is investigated.
The "memogate" row, as it has come to be known, originates from a Financial Times article by Pakistani-American businessman Mansoor Ijaz, published on 10 October. In it, Mr Ijaz said that President Zardari had offered to replace his country's military leadership and cut all ties with militant groups following the killing of Osama Bin Laden last May.
Former US Joint Chiefs Chairman Michael Mullen confirmed receiving the secret communication, but insisted that he did not pay any attention to it and took no follow-up action.
