Pakistan to US, provide details on taliban

Pakistan has demanded that the US provide Pakistani officials with information regarding the location of top taliban leaders. So that Pakistan can help the taliban flush out the spies hunt them down themselves.

Any information provided to the Pakistanis will undoubtedly be forwarded to the taliban via the ISI. It would be too time consuming to list all the post detailing the cooperation between the ISI and the taliban so I'll just give you a link to 'ISI taliban' search.

ISLAMABAD, Oct 1 (Reuters) - The United States should provide information about top militants in Pakistan, a government minister said on Thursday, as Washington stepped up pressure on Islamabad to go after Taliban leaders.

The United States, struggling to contain rising insurgent violence in Afghanistan, says top Islamist militants, including Afghan Taliban leader Mullah Mohammad Omar, are in Pakistan.

U.S. ally Pakistan rejects that.

"They have given only apprehension that some of the Taliban like Mullah Omar and all that, they might be in Quetta," Interior Minister Rehman Malik told reporters.[...]

"We categorically told them that they are not in Quetta, and if they have any real-time information, they should give it to us and we will take action," Malik said.
