Report Accuses Pakistan Of Aiding Taliban, (Philadelphia Inquirer)…Jason Straziuso, Associated Press, June 10, 2008
Pakistani intelligence agents and paramilitary forces have helped train Taliban insurgents and have given them information about American troop movements in Afghanistan, according to a report published yesterday by a U.S. think tank.
The RAND Corp. study also warned that the United States will face “crippling, long-term consequences” in Afghanistan if Taliban sanctuaries in Pakistan are not eliminated.
The study, “Counterinsurgency in Afghanistan,” found some active and former officials in Pakistan’s intelligence service and the Frontier Corps – a Pakistani paramilitary force deployed along the Afghan border – provided direct assistance to Taliban militants and helped secure medical care for wounded fighters.
Pakistan’s top military spokesman rejected the findings.
