Kayani Warns Us

Tension between the Pakistan Army and the civilian government has reached fever pitch over a secret memo, purportedly sent by President Asif Ali Zardari to the Obama administration, warning of a possible military takeover after Osama bin Laden was killed in Pakistan, in May this year.

In the backdrop of Pakistan cautioning America against "unilateral military offensive" on its soil, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is scheduled to arrive in the country today.

Pakistan says it has not asked its Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar to cut short her visit to the United States after escalation of rhetoric with America over the latter's scathing criticism of the ISI's role in terror. But with reports that the US is considering military intervention in Waziristan, Islamabad has put its air force on red alert.

Pakistan Army chief General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani today convened a special meeting of his top commanders to review the security situation against the backdrop of mounting tensions with the US over its asssertion that the military-run Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) had links to the Haqqani network.
