Pakistan illegally detained innocent people on suspicion of terrorism, secretly imprisoned them, and transferred them to U.S. custody for money, human-rights watchdog Amnesty International said yesterday. President Pervez Musharraf, in a memoir released days ago, wrote that his government had earned bounties totaling "millions of dollars" from the transfer of terror suspects to U.S. authorities. Hundreds of Pakistanis and foreigners were rounded up in Pakistan on suspicion of links to terrorism since the U.S.-led war on terror started after the Sept. 11 attacks, Amnesty said in a report, "Human Rights Ignored in the War on Terror."
