PM Imran names US official at centre of ‘threatening letter’ controversy

ISLAMABAD — Prime Minister Imran Khan on Sunday named the US official who met the Pakistani ambassador in Washington and conveyed him the threatening message about regime change in Pakistan on behalf of the White House. 

He said that US Assistant Secretary of State for the Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs Donald Lu had held a meeting with the Pakistani ambassador in early March. 

He said the National Security Committee of Pakistan said clearly that the letter was a conspiracy against Pakistan.
