Hamid Gul, Khalid Khawaja to be 'declared terrorists' in bid to curb ISI
(AKI) - By Syed Saleem Shahzad - Pakistan has given the United States approval to submit the names of two former senior officials to the United Nations' Security Council as declared terrorists. They are former director of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence, Retired Lt. General Hamid Gul and former ISI official, retired squadron leader Khalid Khawaja. "There were accusations that the ISI had links with the militancy and therefore there was a demand to clamp down on the ISI but instead they are aiming to take us on," said Khalid Khawaja. "Now you tell me what relations we have with ISI. We are retired people." Sources said that the thread of investigations had begun with people considered to be the architects of jihad in South Asia during the post-Soviet Russian era and who still support the Taliban and Al-Qaeda.
