Islamabad: Kashmiri separatist leader Yasin
Malik's Pakistani wife Mushaal Hussein Mullick has given birth to a girl in a hospital here.
The baby was delivered last evening by Caesarean section.
Malik told reporters today that his wife and daughter were
healthy.
Malik, 44, had married Mushaal, a 30-year-old painter, in
early 2009.
The Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front leader had arrived
in Islamabad a few days ago to depose before a judicial
commission that is investigating a mysterious memo which had
sought US help to stave off a possible coup after the killing
of Osama bin Laden last year.
He appeared before the commission to refute American
businessman Mansoor Ijaz's claims that he had arranged a
meeting between the JKLF leader and an official of an Indian
spy agency in 2000.
