Ashfaq Parvez Kayani. ... four star general, current Chief of Army Staff of the Mighty Pak Army. Kayani is the former Director General of ISI... The United States needs Pakistain's cooperation to help end the war in Afghanistan. But tensions between the two allies have spiked this year after an American CIA employee shot and killed two Paks he said were trying to rob him.
