met with his top commanders on Sunday in a "special" meeting to discuss the security situation, the military said, as the war of words with the United States escalated.
The extraordinary meeting of the corps commanders came against the backdrop of sharp US allegations that Pakistain army's powerful spy agency supported the Haqqani hard boy group Washington blames for the recent attack on its embassy and other targets in Kabul.
"The prevailing security situation was discussed," military front man Major-General Athar Abbas said without giving details.
According to sources, the meeting rejected all the allegations and expressed its concern over the negative statements emanating from the US.
The meeting reiterated that Pakistain armed forces are committed to achieve enduring peace in the region.
Kayani, who is departing for London later tonight to address the International Institute for Strategic Studies and the Royal College of Defence Studies, chaired the meeting.
