Re: Army officer sacked for meeting Mushrraf w/o COAS approval.

I think Gen. Kayani is sending very clear message to Mushrraf that “don’t think you’re still the boss”. It can’t get better than this. BTW, is there any way we can find out who the officer was why he was sacked?

Analysis: Kayani is his own man
By Kamran Rehmat in Islamabad

…

It followed guarded and as yet published reports that an army officer who went to meet Musharraf behind the back of his new chief was sacked.

…

Last week, **Kayani also replaced Major-General Waheed Arshad, Musharraf’s appointed director general of the army’s public relations wing only a little more than a year after he assumed that role.

The new appointee for the post, Major-General Athar Abbas, is seen as a smart choice given that apart from his track record in the forces he is also the sibling of Pakistan’s best-placed trio of respected media persons.**

It is not just a routine appointment, but rather a follow-up on Kayani’s endeavour to create his own equation with the media.

…

So Maj Gen Athar Abbas is the brother of Zafar Abbas and Mazhar Abbas!
Interesting!

Smart guy.

BTW, who was the unfortunate officer fired for meeting the actual C-in-C
it may be someone of Col to Brig rank perhaps…?
