<b>Pakistan objects to US Army chief's Siachen visit</b><!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin--> Pakistan has taken serious notice of reports that the US Army chief Gen W Casey is scheduled to visit the Siachen glacier in Jammu and Kashmir [Images] during his ongoing three-day visit to India.

He said there was no official confirmation of the American general's plan to visit Siachen.
