Islamabad, Pakistan (CNN) -- The Pakistani Army has decided not to take action against the Haqqani network for the time being despite a fresh wave of intense pressure from Washington for a military offensive against the Pakistani-based militant group, two military officials told CNN on Monday
Pakistan's army chief Gen. Ashfaq Kayani summoned an impromptu meeting early Sunday with top generals, two Pakistani military officials told CNN. They asked for anonymity because they are not authorized to talk to the media.
The meeting comes days after the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Adm. Mike Mullen, made allegations that Pakistan's Intelligence agency, ISI, has direct links with the Haqqani network and was involved in the attack on the U.S. Embassy in Kabul last week.
"The allegation of Pakistan's involvement on the attack on U.S. Embassy in Kabul is just a conspiracy against us," one of the officials said.
He went on to say that the United States was using Pakistan as a scapegoat for its imminent defeat in Afghanistan.
A second official said the decision about taking action against the Haqqani network would be made public at a later time, maybe by the Foreign Ministry, but he did not say when.
The second official said the military has decided not to take action, for the time being, because the army is stretched too thin with several other operations against militants in northwest Pakistan. This is the same reason the army has used on numerous occasion in the past to explain why they have not launched an operation in North Waziristan, where the Haqqani network is based.
"We are not in a position to undertake an operation at this point," the official said.
In a statement Friday, the White House demanded that Pakistan break any links it has with the Haqqani network despite Pakistan's insistence that it had no links with the group.
Pakistan's Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar has been on a diplomatic mission in the United States and is scheduled to speak at the U.N. General Assembly despite receiving orders by Pakistan's prime minister to return to Pakistan.
