American warning to Pakistan
Written by

American military and Intelligence officials say, CIA Deputy Director Stephen R. Cappes travelled to Islamabad this month with new information about ties between the ISI and militants operating in Pakistan's tribal areas.




 

The CIA assessment specifically points to links between members of the Spy service, ISI and the militant network led by Moulavi Jalaluddin Haqqani which American officials believe maintains close ties with senior figures of Al-Qaeda.

 

Haqqani group is believed to be behind a surge of violence in Afghanistan, and also possibly behind the bombing of the Indian embassy in Kabul in early this month.

Premier Yousuf Raza Gilani was handed a “charge-sheet” by CIA chief Michael V Hayden on Pakistani intelligence agencies’ links to militant activities and was told to “rein in the ISI” during their meeting in Washington.
“Some information in the CIA charge-sheet was so damning that the Pakistanis could not deny them,” a senior official familiar with the talks told the Dawn newspaper. CIA chief Hayden, who met Gilani at a dinner on Monday, is believed to have told the Prime Minister that Pakistan will have to do something about the alleged involvement of ISI officials with militants.

Hayden also told Gilani that even a change of government in Washington would not help Pakistan as whoever occupied the White House in January would want Islamabad to “rein in the ISI”, said the senior official.

US President George W Bush too expressed “concern and some annoyance” over the leaking of information to terrorists by the ISI during his meeting with Gilani on Monday. Bush told Gilani that Washington is reluctant to share intelligence with Islamabad because people in the ISI are passing on such information to militants. PTI

American warning to Pakistan means nothing for India’s security.
How long will we keep our head in sand? Why can’t we defend our
soil? Why do we need American help to finish roots of terrorism?
