Washington : The Pentagon has named Rear Admiral Michael LeFever, a top Navy personnel officer, to fill the position as senior American military liaison to Pakistan, The New York Times reported Friday.
The move followed the cancellation of the appointment of Major General Jay Hood as the top American officer in Pakistan, after Pakistani news outlets criticized him for his previous job as commander of the military of the notorious prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
US military officials said they had concluded that Hood’s effectiveness would be hindered and his personal safety could be at risk if he were posted in Pakistan.
