Panetta confronts DG ISI PAKISTAN….

Panetta confronted DG ISI with an evidence of collusion between Pak officials and militants.

He showed him satellite photographs and other evidence of what the CIA believes to be two bomb-making facilities used by militants based in Pakistan against US forces in Afghanistan, the official said.

The bomb facilities were in the north-western region of Waziristan.

Mr Panetta felt compelled to confront Lieutenant-General Pasha after the CIA alerted the Pakistanis about the bomb-making facilities several weeks ago and asked them to raid the locations. But when the Pakistani army showed up, the militants were gone, making the CIA suspicious that the militants had been warned by someone on the Pakistani side.

Officials said that video of the two installations indicated both were being used to manufacture improvised explosive devices, or IEDs - the roadside bombs that are the principal killers of US and coalition troops in Afghanistan.
