ISI chief to visit US
General Ehsanul Haq, director general Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), will visit the US on Sunday on a three-day official visit. He is scheduled to meet US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) chief George Tenant, Mr Mohammad Sadiq of Pakistanâs embassy in Washington, told journalists here. He said the general should meet the chief of the National Security Agency too, but that depends on the CIA agenda being the host. General Ehsanâs current US visit is significant as it coincides with US Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitageâs Afghanistan, Delhi and Islamabad forthcoming visits. It also coincides with Pakistani Prime Minister Mir Zafarullah Khan Jamaliâs phone talk with Indian premier Atal Behari Vajpayee â the first such contact in 18 months.
