Pakistan’s ISI Trained Al-Qaida: Imran Khan
24 September
[ToloNews] Prime Minister Khan has spoken to Trump, Khalilzad about Afghan grinding of the peace processor.

Pakistain’s Prime Minister Imran Khan
...aka The Great Khan, who isn't your heaviest-duty thinker, maybe not even among the top five...
 in an interview at the Council on Foreign Relations In New York on Monday admitted that Pakistain’s Inter-Services Intelligence
...the Pak military intelligence agency that controls the military -- heads of ISI typically get promoted into the Chief of Army Staff position. It serves as a general command center for favored turban groups such as Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammad, tries to influence the politix of neighboring countries, and carries out a (usually) low-level war against India in Kashmir...
 (ISI) trained al-Qaeda and other terrorist groups to fight in Afghanistan.
...and they are still doing so.
Although it is common knowledge that the Pak military, with the support of the United States, trained the so-called mujahedeen who fought Soviet troops in Afghanistan, it is the first time that any Pak leader has directly confirmed publicly that al-Qaeda was among those groups.

"The Pak Army, ISI, trained al-Qaeda and all these groups to fight in Afghanistan. There were always links--there had to be links, because they trained them," said the prime minister in a candid conversation in which he offered a historical context for the regional culture, and conflict.

"The resistance was organized by Pak ISI training these krazed killers, who were invited from all over the Moslem world to do jihad against the Soviet Union. And so we created these krazed killer groups to fight the Soviets," Khan said, continuing: "They were indoctrinated that fighting foreign occupation is jihad. But now, when the US arrived in Afghanistan, it was supposed to be terrorism. So Pakistain took a real battering in this."
But despite the battering, the ISI kept standing up units, training them, supplying them, paying them, and giving them orders to attack thus and such targets in India and Afghanistan. The confession does not end on with 9/11, dude.
Khan offered to get involved with the political solution for peace in Afghanistan after the US-Taliban
...Arabic for students...
 talks broke down in early September.
A political solution can only follow when the fighters are no longer supported in their fighting...
"There’s not going to be a military solution. For nineteen years if you have not been able to succeed, you’re not going to be able to succeed in another nineteen years." Khan said, adding: "there needs to be some sort of a peace deal. There has to be a political settlement."
“Pay us off, then go away, leaving us to enjoy our Afghan hinterland in case we actually lose our ongoing war against Hinjoo India,” Khan added. “Then you will no longer be attacked by our sock puppets on our orders. Should they choose to go rogue like Al Qaeda did on 9/11, however, that cannot possibly be our fault.”
Khan said that for the nearly 13 months that he has been prime minister, he has sought peace with Afghanistan.
He sought a very special kind of Afghan peace, though, the kind where peace means “Surrender, infidel!”
On US and Taliban peace talks, Khan lamented the last-minute scuttling of the deal by US President Donald Trump
...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US...
, and wished Pakistain had been consulted; however, the Trump Administration has been responsive to Khan’s recent overtures. The US’s special envoy to Afghanistan, Zalmay Khalilzad, met with Khan Sunday to brief him on the details of the nine rounds of US-Taliban peace talks in Doha, and the US White House reported that President Donald Trump also had a meeting with Khan on Monday to discuss Afghanistan.
“Nice country ya got there, Khanny baby — be a shame if something happened to it...”
