CENTCOM chief says he'll consider criticism

Islamabad, Nov 5 : New US Central Command (CENTCOM) chief General David Petraeus has said that he would think about Pakistan's rising criticism of US missile strikes in its tribal areas.

"We got certain messages with each of those we talked today and some of those were very clear and we have to take those on board," CNN quoted Petraeus as saying.

He further added that Pakistani leaders recognised the threat from extremism and were 'very serious' about dealing with it.

Petraeus agreed that he had discussed suspicions that elements in Pakistan's spy service have been secretly colluding with the Taliban.
