The WikiLeaks documents reveal that Israeli intelligence agency Mossad was concerned<br />
for former Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf’s well-being and wanted him to remain<br />
in power in 2007. The revelation was made in a secret cable message originating from<br />
the American embassy in Tel Aviv.<br />
It records a meeting between Mossad chief and US Under-Secretary of State Nicholas<br />
Burns under the Bush administration.<br />
Mr Burns met Mossad chief Meir Dagan on Aug 17, 2007, to give his assessment of the<br />
Middle East region, Pakistan and Turkey.<br />
The Israeli spy chief said he was concerned about how long President Musharraf would<br />
survive.<br />
“He is facing a serious problem with the militants. Pakistan’s nuclear capability could end<br />
up in the hands of an Islamic regime.”<br />
Dagan observed that Musharraf appeared to be losing control and his coalition partners<br />
could threaten him in the future.<br />
He linked Musharraf’s retaining control over Pakistan to his dual president and<br />
commander-in-chief role.<br />
The cable says that if Musharraf cannot retain his army role, he will have problems.<br />
The Mossad chief referred to attempts on Musharaf’s life and wondered whether he<br />
could survive the coming years. (Dawn)<br />
