Officials from the Afghan spy agency are claiming the Pakistani spy service, ISI, provided the CIA bomber with a highly explosive material. If true, this wouldn't be very surprising for me since the ISI has a history of aiding the taliban.
Hmmmm...the Pakistanis are complaining (again) that the Predator strikes are counter productive and that the Americans should leave them alone to take care of the taliban. Uh huh, this might be a little far out but maybe the Pakistanis helped the CIA bomber to create an impression that the Predator drone strikes are counterproductive. Daily Beast
Afghan spy officials tell The Daily Beast’s Gerald Posner that the chemical fingerprint of the bomb that killed seven CIA agents matches the kind produced by Pakistani intelligence.
Early evidence in the December 30 bombing that killed seven CIA agents suggests a link to Pakistan, two senior Afghan sources, including an official at their spy agency, told The Daily Beast. The pair said that U.S. has already taken a chemical fingerprint of the bomb used by a Jordanian double agent in the attack, and that it matches an explosive type used by their Pakistan equivalents, the Directorate for Inter-Services Intelligence, or ISI.[...]
The Afghan and Pakistani spy agencies have a tense relationship, due to the latter’s intricate ties to Taliban leaders. Amrollah Salih, Afghanistan’s spymaster, has publicly accused Pakistani spooks of helping Taliban militants carry out suicide attacks inside Afghanistan, and also protecting the Taliban’s supreme leader, Mullah Mohammad Omar, within its borders.
