met with the country's heads at the presidency in the wake of the May 2 operation in Abbottabad, that killed al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden.
Kayani briefed the PM and president on the discussions held and decisions taken during the three-day corps commanders' conference, which concluded on Friday.
Following the meeting of the military's top-brass, Kayani ordered a probe into the intelligence failure of the army and the spy agency, ISI. The findings of this investigation would be handed over to the government, the military chief told the PM and president.
According to a DawnNews report on the high-profile meeting, Pakistain's role in the war against terrorism was also discussed, vowing that the country is determined to continue fighting the terrorists.
Pakistain's 'intelligence failure,' and its lack of action against the world's most-wanted man has been heavily criticized in the wake of the US operation. This criticism was termed disappointing by the country's heads and army chief, who said the army is ready to fight the security challenges that Pakistain faces.
The hurriedly called meeting was held following Prime Minister Gilani's return from his tour of Europe and ahead of President Zardari's tour of Kuwait, which gets underway tonight.
