Washington: General John Allen, top US commander in Afghanistan, is reportedly being investigated for alleged “inappropriate communications” with Jill Kelley, woman who is said to have received threatening emails from Paula Broadwell.
An extramarital affair between Broadwell, the author of David Petraeus’ biography, “All In”, and the CIA chief led to his resignation on Friday.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said in a written statement that the FBI referred the matter to the Pentagon on Sunday, The Associated Press reported.
Kelley is said to have received threatening emails from Broadwell.
Allen, a four-star Marine general, succeeded Petraeus as the top American commander in Afghanistan in July 2011.
“Gen. Allen disputes that he has engaged in any wrongdoing in this matter,” an official, who declined to be named, told the agency.
