WASHINGTON: The top US and Pakistani military leaders were to meet on the sidelines of Nato talks in hopes of fixing strained ties following the US raid that killed Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, a US defense official said on Thursday. Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mike Mullen and General Ashfaq Kayani are to meet on the margins of a Nato conference beginning in Spain on Friday, the Defence Department official said. It will be the first meeting between the two military leaders since the May 2 night time military raid. “It’s not like the relationship has totally ended, but some rebuilding has got to be done,” the military source said.
