Summoning of Pakistan's NSA Mr. Durrani indicates that US has done some serious talking with Pakistan for it to take more action on ground. But the statements on Masood Azhar shows that Pakistan is not serious and sincere to act upon the terrorists.

It was incorrectly announced in the media. I clearly remember the day before they had said we have no clue about where the Azhar is for the past 5 years, and the next day it was reported he's under house arrest.
So many maulanas names popping up n down. Mistakes happen.

Mullen Thanks Pakistani Leaders for Anti-terror Efforts
By Jim Garamone
American Forces Press Service
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan, Dec. 22, 2008 The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff thanked Pakistani military and intelligence officials here today for their continued efforts to fight terrorism.
Navy Adm. Mike Mullen met with Gen. Ashfaq Kayani, chief of the Army Staff, and Lt. Gen. Ahmed Shuja Pasha, director-general of Pakistans interservice intelligence agency.
Mullen stopped by Islamabad after talks in Afghanistan with President Hamid Karzai.
Officials speaking on background said that the chairman would discuss ongoing efforts against extremists, particularly those responsible for the Mumbai attacks in November.
The Pakistani government has taken steps to break up the group believed responsible for the attacks that held the Indian financial center hostage for three days. The attacks killed almost 200 people and wounded many more. Pakistani officials have arrested members of Lashkar-e-Taiba and other extremist groups involved with the attacks.
In the wake of the attacks, Mullen visited leaders in Pakistan and India. During a Pentagon news conference Dec. 10, Mullen said safe havens in the ungoverned areas of Pakistan allowed the terrorists to plan and train for the attacks in Mumbai.
This is the chairmans seventh visit to Pakistan since assuming office in October 2007.

More should be done to satisfy India: US
By Baqir Sajjad Syed
ISLAMABAD, Dec 22: US Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Admiral Mike Mullen arrived here on Monday and it is believed he is on a mission to urge Pakistan to arrest elements accused by India of being involved in last month’s Mumbai attacks for cooling down the mounting tension between the two countries.
“Admiral Mullen arrived this afternoon for scheduled meetings with senior Pakistani officials on regional issues,” US embassy spokesman Lou Fintor said.
Admiral Mullen, who had flown in from Afghanistan, met Chief of Army Staff Gen Ashfaq Parvez Kayani and ISI chief Lt-Gen Ahmad Shuja Pasha in the evening.
This is Admiral Mullen’s second visit to Islamabad this month.
According to sources, he stressed the need for Pakistan to do more to satisfy India which was demanding arrest of elements it said were involved in the Mumbai attacks. They said he might have sought commitments from the Pakistani leadership on the Indian demands which are also a pre-condition for resuming the peace process. The role of ISI is also reported to have come under discussion with the US commander reiterating a demand for bringing it under civilian control.
According to the sources, during their meetings with Admiral Mullen, Pakistani officials stressed that they had sufficiently acted even without enough evidence provided by India about involvement of elements from its territory in the attacks.
The US commander was also apprised of Pakistan’s possible reaction in case of being attacked by India, they said.
They said Admiral Mullen also took stock of peace deals with the Taliban and discussed payment of $900 million arrears to be made to Pakistan for logistical support to the US after verification of claims.

Gulfnews: Islamabad's cooperation on sanctions satisfies UN
Islamabad's cooperation on sanctions satisfies UN
By Shahid Hussain, Correspondent
Published: December 23, 2008, 23:42
Islamabad: A senior United Nations official has said that Pakistan had "satisfactorily complied" with the United Nation's sanctions on terrorist groups, in remarks broadcast by CNN-IBN television.
Richard Barrett, Coordinator of the Security Council-established Al Qaida and Taliban Sanctions Monitoring Committee, said it was difficult to implement the sanctions completely.
Good atmosphere
The UN had found that all Pakistani agencies were cooperative, he said.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I found in all my dealings with officials in Pakistan, whether it's the government, elected officials, ministries or the intelligence services or the Army - and we deal with all of those bodies - I found very good atmosphere of cooperation between them as well as with us," Barrett said. "It is very difficult for a state to implement that [sanctions] completely, but yes, in a way Pakistani government is working to ensure fruitful compliance," he said.
Assessment
Barrett indicated that the cooperation was across the board, covering civil and military agencies and ministries. A visit from Barrett is expected.
Islamabad is soon to make an assessment of Pakistan's actions taken so far and what still needs to be done.
The official had earlier said the Security Council had the power to take action if necessary against nations if they were found not taking action against individuals and organisations branded by terrorist activities.

UNITED NATIONS: Pakistan has satisfactorily complied with UN sanctions on terrorist groups, including Jamaatud Dawa, a senior United Nations official has said. Richard Barrett, co-ordinator of the UN Security Councils (UNSC) Al Qaeda and Taliban Sanctions Monitoring Committee, told CNN-IBN television that it was difficult to implement the sanctions completely, but the UN had found all Pakistani agencies were co-operative. The committee has the task of monitoring sanctions imposed by the UNSC on declared terrorists. It is very difficult for a state to implement that (sanctions) completely, but yes in a way the Pakistani government is working to ensure fruitful compliance, he said. Barrett is expected to visit Islamabad soon to make an assessment of Pakistans actions and what more could be done. app
