MCDERMOTT: Oh, yes, it has been. We funded the Taliban through the Pakistanis, and all that money -- we could have cut off that money and stopped what was going on. We knew what was going on there.

Pakistan And The Taliban's Relationship Spans Decades. Here's What It Looks Like Now

Heard on All Things Considered
National Public Radio
AILSA CHANG, HOST: When Taliban fighters were sweeping across Afghanistan, the hashtag #SanctionPakistan lit up the Twittersphere. Pakistan has long been seen as backing the militant group in defiance of the rest of the world. But now that the Taliban have seized control of Afghanistan, that relationship could change. NPR's Jackie Northam reports from Islamabad.
JACKIE NORTHAM, BYLINE: The Taliban's stunning victory in Afghanistan was met with horror throughout much of the Western world. It was a slightly different story in some quarters of Pakistan. A few days after militants seized Kabul, a white-and-black Taliban flag was flying from the roof of a radical mosque here in Islamabad. Social media showed government officials celebrating, and Prime Minister Imran Khan said the Taliban had broken the shackles of slavery. The jubilation signaled the Taliban takeover in Afghanistan was as much a win for Pakistan's government as it was for the militants.
AFRASIAB KHATTAK: Taliban is a project of security institution of Pakistan. It's not really an Indigenous Afghan movement or something....
NORTHAM: Khattak says Pakistan's relationship with the Taliban goes back decades to when the mujahideen were based in the northwest city of Peshawar. ... Mehmood Jan Babar, a local journalist, returned from Kabul a day before he spoke to NPR. He says many Afghans see the Taliban as proxies of Pakistan, an image the Taliban is trying to shake.

Terrorist suspect's silence halts trial
By Nicola Woolcock
Mr Khyam said in his evidence last week: “The ISI was setting up training camps in what we called Free Kashmir, funding it with money and weapons, and people that would train people, and logistical supplies, everything.”
He described how he went to a training camp in Pakistan in January 2000, staying in the country for three months. He learnt how to use an AK47 rifle, rocket-propelled grenades and sniper rifles, studied climbing techniques and reconnaissance and underwent fitness training. At that stage he said he did not undergo explosives training, but learnt how to make bombs during a later visit to the country.
“People were selected by the ISI. The ISI works with Islamic groups. The group I was with, they wouldn’t let us train with the local Pakistanis. There would be a separate camp for the foreigners.”

Pakistan: FBI rules the roost
By Syed Saleem Shahzad
.... The clash was orchestrated by the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) as a direct result of its deep penetration - and even control - of the Pakistani intelligence establishment.
....It also allowed US intelligence to establish a finger-hold in the country, which the FBI has now turned into a vice-like grip through an ever-expanding network that has infiltrated, to various degrees, Pakistan's armed forces, the police and intelligence agencies.
.... The FBI initially kept a low profile, working mostly at the direction of the all-powerful Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), Pakistan's premier intelligence outfit and effectively the architect and orchestrator of Pakistan's strategic policies.
...According to one ISI person posted in Karachi, who requested not to be named when talking to Asia Times Online, "After September 11, 2001, we were given instructions to work along with FBI operators. Initially they were given a room in the ISI's operations office. They used to give commands to us, and we had to obey them. For instance, once they asked us to send a packet somewhere. We packed it and informed them that the parcel was ready. They unpacked the parcel and asked an ISI employee to repack it in front of them. This is the way the FBI operators showed their domination over the ISI staff. At first they asked us to coordinate in operations. Later on they were given a separate place of work, then they cultivated local police officers, and several times they did not bother to inform the ISI about their operations."
The FBI cells have established direct control over the law enforcing agencies, such as the police, who take orders from FBI agents. In return, they are believed to be handsomely rewarded financially. The ISI is aware of who is on the FBI's payroll, but can do little about it.
... Now, the FBI has virtually unlimited access and control, including airports, and now it has emerged that it has recently been given access to the bank accounts of Pakistani citizens.
...Angoor Adda lies about 65 kilometers from Wana, the district headquarters of the South Waziristan Agency of the FATA, in the west of Pakistan. South Waziristan is the most sensitive agency of Pakistan; it is not under the direct administration of the government of Pakistan, but indirectly governed by a political agent - a system that was enforced by the British rulers.

Probe reveals Omar ‘dealt with Pearl at ISI bidding’
WSJ scribe knew of ISI-jehadi link
London, April 21
A new investigation has revealed detailed links between Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and Omar Sheikh, prime suspect in Wall Street Journal Daniel Pearl’s kidnapping and murder case.
IN THE LINE OF FIRE: A Memoir (2006)
Pakistan's President Pervez Musharraf
page 225
"Omar Sheikh is a British national born to Pakistani parents in London on December 23, 1973. His early education was in the United Kingdom, although he also spent four years at Lahore's prestigious Aitcheson College. He then went to the London School of Economics (LSE) but dropped out before graduation. It is believed in some quarters that while Omar Sheikh was at the LSE he was recruited by the British intelligence agency MI-6. It is said that MI-6 persuaded him to take an active part in demonstrations against Serbian aggression in Bosnia and even sent him to Kosovo to join the jihad."

India helped FBI trace ISI-terrorist links

NEW DELHI: While the Pakistani Inter Services Public Relations claimed that former ISI director-general Lt-Gen Mahmud Ahmad sought retirement after being superseded on Monday, the truth is more shocking.
Top sources confirmed here on Tuesday, that the general lost his job because of the "evidence" India produced to show his links to one of the suicide bombers that wrecked the World Trade Centre. The US authorities sought his removal after confirming the fact that $100,000 were wired to WTC hijacker Mohammed Atta from Pakistan by Ahmad Umar Sheikh at the instance of Gen Mahumd.

POWERED BY THE CIA?
But there is also a tragedy of disbelief. There are many in Musharraf's government who believe that Saeed Sheikh's power comes not from the ISI, but from his connections with our own CIA.

Musharraf Denies Pakistan Is Harboring Taliban
by Renée Montagne
Morning Edition, September 27, 2006 • President Pervez Musharraf rejects claims that Pakistan is a safe haven for Taliban and al-Qaida leaders. Gen. Musharraf, in Washington, D.C., to meet with President Bush and Afghan President Hamid Karzai, recently signed a controversial truce with tribal leaders along the Afghanistan border.
---------------
EXCERPT AT 3.15
Montagne: A study by the RAND Corporation which has not been released finds that it is the Pakistan spy agency, ISI, that is feeding the Taliban with intelligence about US forces; that its directly or indirectly providing training to Taliban forces at various locations inside Pakistan; and this report finds along with General James Jones, the NATO commander, that Pakistan is where the Taliban is headquartered, in Quetta.
Musharraf: I want to give a brief answer; this is humbug, and it is all wrong. Quetta is our capital of Baluchistan. There is a provincial government functioning there. There is a army corp headquartered there. And there is an intelligence set up jointly by CIA and Pakistan intelligence. If they are all fools that they don't know there is a headquarters of Taliban there, its a pity.

"The CIA helped convert ISI into the huge organization that it is now ... with all the power it enjoys," he said.
The spy agency not only helped the Taliban, Rasheed said, but also trained Muslim militants fighting in Indian Kashmir.

Terrorism Suspicion Hangs Over Pakistan's ISI
by Mary Louise Kelly
Morning Edition, November 17, 2006 • India has accused Pakistan's powerful intelligence agency, the ISI, of planning the Mumbai train bombings that killed almost 200 people this past summer. Meanwhile, a leaked British defense ministry memo alleges that the ISI has been indirectly helping al-Qaida.
Mary Louise Kelly: "Back at ISI headquarters, a senior official presented with this view shrugs, then his eyes turn steely. 'If we were secretly helping the Taliban and Al Qaeda,' he asks, 'do you think we would get all the support we do from your CIA?' "
