WASHINGTON: A top US military leader on Thursday acknowledged that Washington is still worried about the "links" of ISI with Taliban, but said as
of now he is "comfortable" about safety and security of Pakistan's nuclear weapons.
"Yes, sir," Admiral Mike Mullen, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said when Senator John McCain specifically asked him 'Do you still worry about the ISI cooperating with Taliban?'[...]
"I've believed over the last year, since I've been involved and visited Pakistan, that the ISI, in the long run, has to change its strategic thrust and get away from working both sides," Mullen asserted.
