WASHINGTON Former Pakistan president Pervez Musharraf will meet privately with US lawmakers on September 29 to discuss the changing US strategy for fighting the war in Afghanistan, according to an email obtained by AFP Wednesday.

Representative Steve Buyer, the top Republican on the House Veterans Affairs Committee, has invited fellow lawmakers to sit down with Musharraf, according to the message from his legislative director.

The message notes that the top US commander in Afghanistan, General Stanley McChrystal, recently delivered his assessment of the situation in Afghanistan and recommendations for winning the nearly eight-year-old war. -AFP
