Leon Panetta to pressurise Pak to lie low over Kashmir issue, Indo-US arms deal | Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Director Leon Panetta is expected to visit Pakistan this week, reportedly
for pressurising Islamabad to stay cool over the Indo-US arms deal and the Kashmir issue. According to well-placed sources, to get the multibillion-dollar deal between
India and the US through, Panetta would urge the Pakistan ’s top leadership to
stay cool, The Nation reported. They revealed the CIA director would also demand
the Islamic nation’s political and military leadership to launch a military operation
against terror networks in North Waziristan Agency. Sources were of the view that
Panetta’s visit at this point of time was aimed to highlight the terror threats
from NWA, and urge the Pakistani leadership to be calm over the Indo-US arms deal
and Kashmir issue, keeping in view that US President Barack Obama would be making
a landmark visit to India in November. Sources did not attach much significance
to the latest US claims that the upsurge in US drone strikes on militants in the
country’s northwest sought to disrupt attacks on European cities.
