Hans Rustad En spansk etterretningsrapport fra august 2005 slår fast at Pakistans sikkerhetstjeneste ISI ikke bare trener og assisterer Taliban, men også utstyrer dem med bomber som skal brukes til å drepe afghanske tjenestemenn.
Det er første gang det lekkes en offisiell rapport fra et vestlig land som åpent slår fast at ISI fortsatt støtter Taliban.
The August 2005 report says Pakistan’s shadowy Inter-Services Intelligence agency helped the Taliban procure roadside bombs and may even have provided training and intelligence to the Taliban in camps set up on Pakistani soil.
The Pakistani agency, known as the ISI, planned to have the Taliban use the explosives «to assassinate high-ranking officials» in Afghanistan, the report said.
It also warned of possible advanced training camps in Pakistan «where the Taliban receive training, help and intelligence from the ISI and where they are also developing new kinds» of improvised explosive devices. The report said the Taliban had also been receiving help from al-Qaida.
The document, which was obtained by Cadena Ser radio and posted on the station’s Web site Wednesday, was marked «confidential» and topped with the Defense Ministry seal and the title of Spain’s military intelligence agency.
