"The foreign cellular company (Shahzad used) will have to be approached formally either by the government or by Shahzad's family," Shahid Nadeem Baloch, Director of FIA's cyber crime wing who testified yesterday before a five-member judicial commission tasked to probe Shahzad's murder, was quoted as saying by the daily.

After the meeting, the commission's information secretary Taimur Azmat said the panel has already directed the Islamabad Capital Territory's inspector-general of police to contact the company to obtain Shahzad's password.
