(Reuters) - U.S. special forces were embedded withPakistani troops on intelligence-gathering missions by the summer of 2009, confidential American diplomatic cables showed, a revelation that could hurt the Pakistani military's public image.
The disclosure comes a day after another set of cables showed that Pakistan's powerful army chief not only tacitly agreed to the covert U.S. drone campaign against militants, but asked for "continuous Predator coverage" of the tribal areas by these aircraft. The army denied the contents.
The local Dawn newspaper, which said it obtained the secret dispatches from WikiLeaks, said they reveal that U.S. special forces were deployed with Pakistani troops in joint operations in Pakistan by September of 2009.
Pakistani Army has been trying hard to distance itself from the Drones attacks on its soil, right from day one, but with the US SEALS-6 killing Osama bin Laden in his Abbottabad safe house (also see "Secret behind Osama Bin Laden's Safe House in Abbottabad, Pakistan!", at http://prmadhura3.blogspot.com/2011/05/secret-journey-of-osama-bin-laden-from.html) its double game ended. And now this WIKILEAKS, nails its lies.
