Furious over being bullied by the US, Musharraf tells all in book

[bemildred]

Tsk, no honor among thieves.

PRESIDENT Pervez Musharraf of Pakistan says that the CIA has secretly paid his government millions of dollars for handing over hundreds of al-Qaeda suspects to America.

The US government has strict rules banning such reward payments to foreign powers involved in the war on terror.

Musharraf does not say how much the CIA gave in return for the 369 al-Qaeda figures that he ordered should be passed to the US.

The US Department of Justice said: �We didn�t know about this. It should not happen. These bounty payments are for private individuals who help to trace terrorists on the FBI�s most wanted list, not foreign governments.
