A high level commission should be formed to fix responsibility on those who threw country into US war that caused county to suffer over 75000 lives and $120 billion losses to economy, he said while addressing media at Quetta on Friday at the end of his 5-day visit to Balochistan, says a press release from Mansoorah.
