Clinton  arrives today in Pak for talks



Clean Media Correspondent
Islamabad, Oct 20 (CMC) US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will arrive in the Pakistani capital today for talks aimed at pressing the country's leadership to crack down on the Haqqani network to facilitate the process of reconciliation in neighbouring Afghanistan.
Clinton, who is expected to be accompanied by CIA chief Gen David Petraeus and Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman Gen Martin Dempsey, will hold meetings with Pakistan's civil and military leadership, including President Asif Ali Zardari, Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani and army chief Gen Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, diplomatic sources said.

The trip comes at a time when US-Pakistan relations have plunged to a new low following accusations by senior American officials that the Inter-Services Intelligence agency is using the Haqqani network to wage a proxy war in Afghanistan and to attack US and foreign forces.
Against the backdrop of a reported US and Afghan troop build-up along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border, Gen Kayani warned the US against any unilateral action in the tribal belt that is considered a safe haven for the Haqqani network and other militant groups. .
