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 PTI 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.
