Admiral Mullen accused Pakistain of "exporting" violent extremism to Afghanistan by allowing snuffies to act as an "arm" of the intelligence service."In choosing to use violent extremism as an instrument of policy, the government of Pakistain -- and most especially the Pak Army and ISI -- jeopardises not only the prospect of our strategic partnership, but also Pakistain's opportunity to be a respected nation with legitimate regional influence," he told US senators. "By exporting violence, they have eroded their internal security and their position in the region."
Rehman Malik
Pak politician, current Interior Minister under the Gilani administration. Malik is a former Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) intelligence officer who rose to head the FIA during Benazir Bhutto's second tenure. He later joined the Pak Peoples Party and was chief security officer to Bhutto. Malik was tossed from his FIA job in 1998 after documenting the breath-taking corruption of the Sharif family. By unhappy coincidence Näwaz Shärif became PM at just that moment and Malik moved to London one step ahead of the button men.
, Pakistain's interior minister, warned the US against an imminent raid against the Haqqani leadership in North Wazoo, a mountain region close to the border with Afghanistan.
He denied that the intelligence agency had ties to the network.
"The Pakistain nation will not allow the boots on our ground, never," Mr Malik said.
