UK also suspects ISI role in Afghanistan

ADVISOR on Interior Rehman Malik on Sunday categorically denied American accusations that the Pakistani intelligence agency is aiding Taliban in Afghanistan.

“There is no involvement by the ISI of any form in Afghanistan,” he told The Sunday Times. “We requested evidence which has not yet been given.”

He admitted that in meetings in London, senior British government and intelligence officials had also told him they were convinced of ISI involvement in the Indian embassy bombing.

It is the first time the White House has openly confronted Pakistan since just after the 9/11 terrorist attacks on Washington and New York when General Pervez Musharraf’s regime was told to drop its support for the Taliban or be bombed back to the Stone Age.

“The security of Pakistan, Afghanistan, the entire region and maybe that of the whole world will be determined by developments in the tribal areas over the next few months,” said ANP provincial President Afrasiab Khattak.
