New Delhi: American Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) chief Leon Panetta has held a series of meetings with senior government officials here.
Official sources said Panetta, who also met with Intelligence Bureau chief Rajiv Mathur and RAW chief A K Verma, discussed various areas of cooperation.
This is the first high-profile visit by any American official after a team of the India's National Investigation Agency (NIA) had questioned terrorist David Coleman Headley in May in Chicago.
Panetta also met with Union Home Secretary G K Pillai. Later, Panetta met Union Home Minister P Chidambaram where the RAW chief was also present.
Less than a month after the Mumbai attacks, Pakistan's spy agency chief Lt Gen Ahmed Shuja Pasha had admitted before the CIA that the terror strikes had ISI links but claimed it was not an "authorised" operation and carried out by "rogue" elements, according to a new book in the US.
