Cipher case: Pakistan's special court extends ex-foreign minister Qureshi's physical remand by 2 days

Former Pakistani foreign minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi's physical remand has been extended by two days in connection with the leakage of a confidential diplomatic cable. Qureshi, a close aide of former prime minister Imran Khan, was arrested on August 19 for violating the secrecy of the cable. The arrest is seen as part of a political feud between Khan and the previous government. Khan himself is currently serving a three-year jail term in a corruption case.
