A front man for the Pak military, Gen. Asif Ghafoor, told news hounds on Thursday that the intelligence agencies have contacts with the murderous Moslem groups, being part of the duties of such agencies.
"Please understand, ’having links’, and ’supporting’ [gangs] are two different things," he said.
Gen. Asif further added "Name an intelligence agency of any country that does not have links [to gangs]. Everyone does. If you have the links to finish the threat, then that is a positive contribution."
This is the first time the Pak military has publicly admitted the links between its military agency and the murderous Moslem groups.
The Afghan and US officials are saying that the conflict in the country has links with the sanctuaries of the terrorist groups, particularly the Taliban

and Haqqani network
which have remained intact in the key cities of Pakistain.Speaking to the US politicians in the Senate Armed Services Committee on Tuesday, Gen. Dunford said "It is clear to that ISI has connections with the terrorist groups," Gen. Dunford said.
