New ISI chief to hold talks with PPP in London

Islamabad, Sep 22 (UNI) President Parvez Musharraf has asked newly-appointed ISI chief Lt Gen Nadeem Taj to resume talks with former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto's Pakistan's Peoples Party.

The new ISI Director General will travel to London next week to hold talks with the PPP's top brass, Geo TV said, quoting sources.
