FBI Director Robert Mueller is in Pakistan today, according to the Associated Press. A Pakistani government statement said that Mueller met with Pakistani Interior Minister Rehman Malik for talks Wednesday in the capital, the news wire reported.
U.S. officials declined to comment, the AP reported.
In addition to the tensions over the secret U.S. raid inside Pakistan to kill al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden, the U.S. says Pakistan’s spy agency maintains ties to Islamic fighters in the so-called Haqqani network who are believed to be behind last week’s attack on the U.S. embassy in neighboring Afghanistan.
