‘Pak sees India as biggest threat’

PRESS TRUST OF INDIA

Washington: Despite the fact that their military is fighting tough battle against Taliban and al-Qaida, the Pakistan leaders and the ISI still believe India is the greatest threat to them, a top US military official said Tuesday.
 “It is important to note that India is still seen as the greatest threat, greater than the Taliban, greater than even al-Qaida. So there are still some dynamics there that are challenging,” US Central Command Commander Gen David Petraeus said at the association of the US army annual meeting.
 Commending Pakistani military in taking successful action against the militants in Swat Valley, Petraeus said they have cleared the vast majority of the Swat Valley. The US general said the operations have resulted in the death and capture of significant number of senior Taliban leaders.
