US President Barack Obama would
hold a situation room meeting on Afghanistan and Pakistan with
his top national security team today.
The sudden announcement last night from the White House in this regard comes in wake of the arrest of Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar, the number two Taliban leader; and advance of the US-led forces against the Taliban in southern Afghanistan.
Both the issues including the latest developments in the
region are expected to be discussed at the meeting to be
attended by Obama's top national security team.
The meeting squeezed in between a tight day schedule of the US President has been scheduled to last for an hour.
Later Obama is scheduled to have lunch with the visiting King Juan Carlos I of Spain.
