Pakistan to appoint new military intelligence chief
Pakistani army chief General Pervez Kayani is appointing a new head of military intelligence, a newspaper reported on Tuesday, the first major reshuffle in the military since President Pervez Musharraf quit the army.
Musharraf, who seized power as a general in 1999, stepped down as army chief in November to become a civilian president of the country, which has been ruled by the military for more than half of the 60 years since its independence.
Top military appointments in the country are always closely watched as Pakistan's intelligence agencies have long held influence over successive governments as well as being accused of meddling in the affairs of neighbouring Afghanistan and India.
