DTN News - PAKISTAN NEWS: Pakistani Military Worried About Collaborators....NSI News Source Info # 2005(NSI News Source Info) ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - May 27, 2011: Embarrassed by the Osama bin Laden raid and by a series of insurgent attacks on high-security sites, top Pakistani military officials are increasingly concerned that their ranks are penetrated by Islamists who are aiding militants in a campaign against the state.
Those worries have grown especially acute since the killing of bin Laden less than a mile from a prestigious military academy. This week’s naval base infiltration by heavily armed insurgents in the megacity of Karachi — an attack widely believed to have required inside help — has only deepened fears, military officials said.
Army chief Gen. Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, who like the civilian government has publicly expressed anger over the secret U.S. raid, was so shaken by the discovery of bin Laden that he told U.S. officials in a recent meeting that his first priority was “bringing our house in order,” according to a senior Pakistani intelligence official, citing personal conversations with Kayani.
