ISLAMABAD (AP) -- Pakistan's powerful army chief has issued a rare public statement warning against efforts to undermine the country's military.
Analysts interpreted Gen. Ashfaq Parvez Kayani's cryptic message as a response to unprecedented pressure the army is facing from the government, media and judiciary.
Kayani said Monday the military draws its strength from public support, and anything that undermines that threatens Pakistan's security. He also warned institutions from stepping outside their boundaries as defined by the constitution.
