Report reveals direct links between Pak's ISI and Afghan Taliban | Revelations by nine Afghan Taliban field commanders have established a direct link between them and Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), though Islamabad has termed it as rubbish. According to the BBC , the London School of Economics (LSE) report
claims that the ISI is providing funding, training and sanctuary to the Taliban
on a scale much larger than previously thought. The report's unnamed author concludes
that Pakistan 's relationship with the insturgents runs far deeper than previously
realised. Some of the commanders interviewed suggested that the ISI even attends
meetings of the Taliban's supreme council. They claim that by backing the insurgents
Pakistan 's security service is trying to undermine Indian influence in Afghanistan. The report
concludes that without a significant change in approach by Pakistan, both the Afghan
government and international community will find it impossible to end the insurgency in
Afghanistan . The spokesman for Pakistan 's military said the claims were "rubbish" and part
of a malicious campaign against the country's military and security agencies. |
