Pakistan Continues Conspiracies against Afghanistan: Balkh Governor
2010-10-04
[Tolo News] Ata Mohammad Noor, the governor of the northern Balkh province, has expressed reactions against the recent comments of the former ISI chief

Mr Noor, in a conference on Friday said Pakistain "does not stop plotting conspiracies against Afghanistan" and is still making efforts to deteriorate security in the country.

He called the recent comments of Gen. Hamid Gul,
... the nutty former head of Pakistain's ISI, now Godfather to Mullah Omar's Talibs and good buddy and consultant to al-Qaeda's high command...
the former chief of Pakistain's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), a direct interference in Afghanistan's internal affairs.
No, they are merely comments. However, the things the retired general does when he isn't commenting do constitute direct interference in Afghanistan's internal affairs.
In an interview with the BBC on Tuesday, Gen. Hamid Gull described the Afgan government as a puppet regime, and his comments sparked severe reactions and criticism by some Afghan authorities.
The retired general has got that wrong, too. It was the previous government, the Taliban one, that was the puppet regime. More specifically, the puppet regime of one General Hamid Gul, then not yet retired. Perhaps this is a sign of increasing senility, in which case it would be kinder not to mention it.
The governor of the northern Balkh province, Ata Mohammad Noor, in reaction to the recent comments of Gen. Hamid Gull, said some high-profile Pak officials are still making efforts to deteriorate the situation in Afghanistan.

"A nation that is divided, a nation that has experienced miseries, a nation that is destroyed, a country that has lost all its national treasures, its roads and hospitals are destroyed, but still they [Pakistain] does not leave this country alone," Mr Noor said pointing out to the recent comments made by Hamid Gull.

Mr Noor expressed regret about some Afghan individuals who he thinks have turned into the puppets of foreigners and are acting according to the wills of Afghanistan's enemies, instead of working for the country's development and prosperity.
