Aug 3 (Reuters) - U.S. and Pakistani spy chiefs
exchanged grievances in their first official meeting this week,
sources familiar with the discussions said on Friday, but it was
unclear if the two uneasy allies made any progress to end deep
divisions on militants living in Pakistani tribal areas or on
U.S. drone strikes.
Lieutenant-General Zaheer ul-Islam, who was named in March to head the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), on his first official visit to Washington met on Thursday with CIA Director David Petraeus at CIA headquarters.
Ahead of his visit, Pakistani officials said the country's spy chief would call for an end to U.S. military drone strikes in volatile areas bordering Afghanistan and push for a sharing of technology and intelligence.
The public preview of Pakistani demands on Petraeus appeared to have displeased U.S. officials, who pushed back at the notion they might cede to Pakistani requests.
