Shocker. The ISI is still providing aid and sanctuary to the taliban. Breaking News
WASHINGTON - Taliban leaders, aided by Pakistani spy agency Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), are using their sanctuary in Pakistan to stoke a widening campaign of violence in northern and western Afghanistan, the New York Times reported.[...]
It cited American officials as saying they believe that the Taliban leadership in Pakistan still gets support from parts of the ISI, Pakistan’s military spy service.[...]
The issue of the Taliban leadership council, or shura, in Quetta is now at the top of the Obama administration’s agenda in its meetings with Pakistani officials.
At the same time, American officials face a frustrating paradox: the more the administration wrestles publicly with how substantial and lasting a military commitment to make to Afghanistan, the more the ISI is likely to strengthen bonds to the Taliban as Pakistan hedges its bets, the Times said.
