ISLAMABAD (AFP) — The top US military commander arrived in Islamabad Wednesday for meetings with Pakistan government officials, a US embassy official said.

Admiral Michael Mullen's second visit in just two weeks to the country, a front line state in the US-led battle against Taliban and Al Qaeda-linked extremism, follows his arrival with Richard Holbrooke, the US special envoy for Afghanistan and Pakistan, on April 16.

The spokesman did not say whom the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff would be meeting. He also declined to comment on the agenda for Mullen's talks with Pakistani officials.
