Pakistan's military tells US to wrap up spy network from FATA
Military leadership expressing their severe concerns over the US spy network in FATA have asked the US to wrap up their spy network from the area and declared clearance of intelligence agencies mandatory for any visa extension of US citizens living in Pakistan.
Defense sources told Online that during US Joint Chief of Staff Michael Mullen meetings with the army leadership proofs of presence of US and other agents in tribal areas as well as presence of spy network operating in Pakistan were handed over to Mullen.
Mullen was told that the presence of spy network in the area is a putting at risk the security forces operating in that areas as these spies are playing double game. On one hand these spies often give unconfirmed reports of terrorist hideouts while on the other hand they have links with several extremist elements and tell them about the movement of security forces.
The military leadership demanded of US to immediately wrap up this network and inform Pakistan of all such personal operating in the country.
Sources further told that US after hearing Pakistans severe reservations is considering shifting its spies network to Kabul.
On the other hand record of all Pakistanis living in US have been compiled after the Raymond Davis Fiasco and Interior Ministry has been told that prior to extending visa of any US national the clearance of intelligence agencies must be obtained in each case.
After this decision several US citizens have been denied of extension in their visas and several of the US personals are leaving Pakistan silently after the expiry of their visas.
Pakistan ambassador to US Hussain Haqqani has also been directed to forward details of all US nationals visiting Pakistan to Foreign office and defense ministry.
