ISLAMABAD—With President Bush under increasing pressure from the Democrat-heavy House, Washington has demanded Islamabad to kill or capture Ayman Al-Zawahiri and Mullah Dadullah — main proponents of the so-called Spring Offensive, The Nation reliably learnt on Tuesday.“Yesterday, an exchange of very critical information took place,” sources said, referring to the meeting between the US Vice President Cheney and President Musharraf.Sources privy to this meeting confirmed the exchange of information was about the Spring Offensive, which, the Americans believe, has been planned inside Pakistani territory by the top al-Qaeda and Taliban leadership.The Americans believe that the cross border movement of Al-Qaeda and Taliban leaders and sympathisers has once again picked up following a peace deal in Pakistan’s Tribal Areas. They claim the deal has given the Al-Qaeda and Taliban a breather to recoup and regroup for Spring Offensive.The Americans claim that both Zawahiri, and Dadullah keep shuttling between Pakistan and Afghanistan and have masterminded a major offensive against the allied forces starting in spring. The CIA and ISI have been collaborating closely in war on terror but as the situation heats up, the blame is being shifted to the ISI through claims that Osama, Zawahiri, Mullah Omar and other top militants are hiding in Pakistan
