Pakistan: okay, well, maybe our spies are linked to terrorists.
| Tweet |
Yesterday saw a surprising disclosure* from our intelligence community that Pakistan’s spy agency, the ISI, was linked to radical Islamists who attacked the Indian embassy last month. It wasn’t just a few rogue agents, but instead official support deep within the ISI hierarchy.
Pakistan angrily denied the accusations yesterday. But by yesterday evening…well, their tune has changed a bit:
…by Friday evening, senior Pakistani officials were offering a more nuanced response to U.S. intelligence officials’ allegations of ISI complicity, which were first reported Thursday by the New York Times.
“There is no proof of ISI involvement” in the attack in Kabul, said Pakistani Information Minister Sherry Rehman, who is close to Prime Minister Yusaf Raza Gillani and accompanied him on an official visit to Washington this week.
But she added: “There are probably still individuals within the ISI who are ideologically sympathetic to the Taliban, and act on their own in ways that are not in convergence with the policies and interests of the government of Pakistan. . . . We need to identify these people and weed them out.”
They’re not the only ones in the ISI who need a bit of pruning. These guys really scare me, and I have to wonder when these ugly compromises will have become to ugly to continue.
Meanwhile in Britain, they’re starting to realize that many of the terrorists shooting at British soldiers in Afghanistan arrived there on a British passport:
Earlier this year, it was revealed that RAF Nimrod spyplanes monitoring Taliban radio signals in Afghanistan had heard militants speaking with Yorkshire and Midlands accents.
…
Disturbingly, Brig Butler suggested the traffic between Britain and Afghanistan may flow in both directions, with some British Muslims returning from the region and posing a domestic security threat.
But that’s OK–British law enforcement (second item) is ready to handle them.
*The content of the disclosure is not at all surprising–the fact that it was disclosed, is.
