Security advisor dismissed
Pakistan fired its national security advisor amid tensions with India over the Mumbai attacks.
Mahmood Ali Durrani, a former ambassador to the US and seen by critics as too friendly to Washington, was fired late Wednesday because "he gave media interviews on national security issues without consulting the prime minister," said Imran Gardaizi, spokesman for Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani.
