Islamabad, November 20: The CIA boss Leon Panetta on Friday met Pakistan’s top civil and military leaders to discuss the war against terror and sharing of information between Washington and Islamabad to boost the campaign against militants operating along the Afghanistan border.
Panetta, whose visit was kept low key apparently due to security concerns, met Inter-Services Intelligence agency chief Lt Gen Ahmed Shuja Pasha and Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani.
There was no official word on the meetings though a spokesman for the Prime Minister’s Office confirmed Panetta had called on Gilani this afternoon.
The two sides were expected to discuss the sharing of credible and actionable intelligence, especially in areas along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, TV news channels reported.
