| [Tolo News] The National Directorate of Security ...the Afghan national intel agency... (NDS) has asserted that Pakistain's Inter-Services Intelligence ...the Pak military intelligenceagency 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) Agency is leading the war against the Afghan military. "The Pak intelligence has a direct hand in the insecurities," NDS front man Abdul Haseeb Sediqi said. "We have evidence proving that the war in Afghanistan is led by the Pak military; Pak soldiers are fighting alongside the terrorists." This is not the first time that Pakistain has been accused of contributing to the insecurity in Afghanistan. But NDS claims are slightly different as they accuse the Pak military of being directly involved in leading and organizing terrorist attacks in Afghanistan. Sediqi claimed that despite all attempts, Taliban are weaker than ever, adding that the NDS has been able to prevent 400 terrorist attacks in the month of August only. "Taliban are weak from every angle while the Afghan National Security Forces' (ANSF) capacities have increased. This is why they need help from the Pak military." In addition, he stated that the gunnies are changing their war tactics with the guidance of the Quetta Shura ...Mullah Omar's command center, located in Quetta, that the Pak govt hasn't been able to find since its establishment in November, 2001. Honest... that has recently held three meetings to plan new terrorist attacks in Afghanistan in aim to provoke insecurities in the northeastern and southwestern parts of the country. A number of political analysts have said that Sediqi's statements do not surprise them, accusing President Hamid Maybe I'll join the TalibanKarzai ... A former Baltimore restaurateur, now 12th and current President of Afghanistan, displacing the legitimate president Rabbani in December 2004. He was installed as the dominant political figure after the removal of the Taliban regime in late 2001 in a vain attempt to put a Pashtunface on the successor state to the Taliban. After the 2004 presidential election, he was declared president regardless of what the actual vote count was. He won a second, even more dubious, five-year-term after the 2009 presidential election. His grip on reality has been slipping steadily since around 2007, probably from heavy drug use... of neglecting the issue. "Pakistain's involvement in the terrorist attacks on Afghanistan is not a new matter; everyone knows of this reality," political analyst Saleh Muhammad Registani said. "The military had discussed the issue with President Karzai many times, but he chose to be silent. Now that his term is coming to an end, more light is shed onto these realities." The NDS has announced that they will not provide the evidence against Pak military to Pak officials because of the "lack of trust". |

| #2 The Pakistan military ledership has been for years composed of northern elements devoted to the creation of a Pashtunistan hived from both Pakistan and Afghanistan. In southern Pakistan -- say from Multan south -- the military, and thus the ISI, is detested. Most rational Paks understand that the military has controlled and benefits financially from the opium and derivatives traffic in the Afghan-Pak borderlands. They are also aware that the control has allowed the spread of hard narcotics use into the south. Why the USA contined to support Pakistan once the Soviets departed Afghanistan is inexplicable. Why Foggy Bottom today supports Pakistan -- which is one of the world's largest failed states -- is also inexplicable. |
