ISI involved in Afghan violence: US

Source: AFP August 9, 2008

WASHINGTON  - The top US commander in Afghanistan Thursday publicly accused Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence Directorate of “some complicity” over time with militant groups fomenting violence in Afghanistan.

Lieutenant General David McKiernan’s comment in an interview with CNN was the most unambiguous statement yet on the matter by a senior US military officer, reflecting growing US frustration over the insurgent violence in Afghanistan.

“Do I believe that the Pakistani government must do more? I absolutely do. Do I believe there has been some complicity on the part of organisations such as the ISI over time in Pakistan, I believe there has been,” McKiernan said.
