| Pak army chief knew of Kabul embassy bombing | |

| Highest levels of Pakistan's security apparatus, including the army chief Gen Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, might have been aware of the plot to bomb the Indian embassy in Kabul in July this year, US intelligence and security officials believe, a media report has said. They also believe that the attack was aided by Pakistan's infamous intelligence agency, ISI.
American intelligence agencies were quoted as saying that senior Pakistani national security officials favour the use of militant groups to preserve Pakistan's influence in the region, as a hedge against India and Afghanistan. In fact, some analysts believe that ISI operatives did not mind when their role in the July bombing in Kabul became known, the paper added. "They didn't cover their tracks very well," a senior Defense Department official told the paper, "and I think the embassy bombing was the ISI drawing a line in the sand." | |

| #2 Pak army chief knew of Kabul embassy bombing ¿BEFOREHAND?..... anything is possible in the Shithole-0 called Pakistan BUT..... is it likely? Rapporteurs™ spend so much time alone in A-Stan that they wind up hanging out with Mary 5 fingers way too long. I'd shed a Crocodile Tear but they lie so much that I lost any compassion I ever had for the Bastards! |

| #1 "A senior official said..." in other words, this guy is just making up stuff. While it is probably true, my guess is that the rapporteur spoke to no one except perhaps the barrista at the local coffee house. |
