CIA Calls Out Pakistani ISI For Ties To Terrorists

It shouldn't come as a surprise to most that members of the Pakistani government is corrupt. The CIA has uncovered links between the Pakistani intelligence agency (ISI) and terrorists operating in Pakistan and has now confronted them about it. It's no wonder why so many sure hits in Pakistan, turn out to be misses.

A top Central Intelligence Agency official traveled to Islamabad and confronted senior officials with evidence of ties between Pakistan's spy agency and militants operating in that country's tribal areas, the New York Times reported in Wednesday editions.

The CIA envoy presented information linking members of Pakistan's Directorate for Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) with some militant groups responsible for a string of attacks including the suicide bombing of the Indian Embassy in Kabul this month which killed 58 people, the newspaper said.

The report, based on accounts by U.S. military and intelligence officials, described the decision to confront Pakistan over ISI's activities as the bluntest warning to Islamabad since shortly after the September 11, 2001 attacks.
