ISLAMABAD, Pakistan, Dec. 22 (UPI) -- The U.S. chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff thanked Pakistani military and intelligence officials Monday for their efforts to fight terrorism.

Navy Adm. Mike Mullen met with Gen. Ashfaq Kayani, chief of the Army staff, and Lt. Gen. Ahmed Shuja Pasha, director-general of Pakistan's interservice intelligence agency, a statement said.

Mullen visited Islamabad after being in Afghanistan to meet with President Hamid Karzai.

The statement said the Pakistani government has taken steps to break up the group believed responsible for the Mumbai terrorist attacks last month.

Pakistani officials have arrested members of Lashkar-e-Taiba and other extremist groups involved with the attacks that left nearly 200 people dead.
