Extremists Infiltrated Pakistani Govt & British Govt

This revelation doesn't suprise me. "Since the overthrow of my government, the militants have made many inroads into the very structure of governance of Pakistan through their supporters and sympathisers,", I think the Pakistani government was infiltrated by extremists before 1996. The ISI trained and funnelled money, weapons to the Mujahedeen during the Soviet-Afghan War. The ISI also created the Taliban or at least gave it much support in it's early years (early 90s).

London (PTI): Days before her assassination, Benazir Bhutto wrote in a book released today that extremists had made "inroads" into the very structure of Pakistan government, making the country a "tinderbox".

"Since the overthrow of my government, the militants have made many inroads into the very structure of governance of Pakistan through their supporters and sympathisers," the former Prime Minister said in her last book "Benazir Bhutto - Reconciliation, Islam, Democracy & the West".

Describing Pakistan as a "tinderbox", Bhutto, who was assassinated on December 27 last year in Rawalpindi, said the nation faces the threat of "Talibanisation" and "Balkanisation".

"Pakistan today is the most dangerous place in the world. Pakistan faces the threat of both Talibanisation and Balkanisation, which are gaining in strength," she wrote in the 328-page book which was released both in London and Islamabad.

It seems that jihadis have also infiltrated the British government.

Islamist extremists have infiltrated Government and key public utilities to pass sensitive information to terrorists, the security services have warned.

Counter-terrorism officials say "insiders" or their associates are almost certainly working "undetected" in sensitive posts and are actively supporting the activities of extremists.

In some cases, lifelong relationships between friends or relatives are being exploited to obtain crucial information from those in sensitive posts.

The development is detailed in intelligence reports circulated to the Home Office, police and Whitehall officials.

The London Underground, Gatwick airport and BT are cited as examples of organisations which have been targeted by individuals linked to terrorists.
