Pakistan spy agency accused of alerting al Qaeda by US
- Text size
Defence Minister Ahmed Mukhtar said members of Inter-Services Intelligence were accused of “tipping off” militants before strikes in the tribal areas.
Mr Mukhtar said that the Americans “mistrusted” the ISI.
His unusual public admission of the rebuke seems to mark a new low in ties between the US and Pakistan’s spies.
‘Who’s in charge?’
Mr Mukhtar was speaking in Washington, where he is accompanying Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani on his first visit to the US.
Speaking on Pakistan’s Geo TV, he said the Americans had alleged that information about targets was being “leaked”.
“The burning issue of course is as to who controls the ISI,” he said.
“In their [the Americans'] view there are some people at some level in the ISI who tip off the Taleban at some level about impending missile attacks when these are shared with the Pakistanis.
“They [the Americans] have expressed displeasure over this.”
Mr Mukhtar also openly admitted that President Bush had asked who was really in charge of the ISI during the visit to Washington.
The BBC’s security correspondent Rob Watson says that relations between the American Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the ISI appear decidedly strained.
Our correspondent says that the stern message apparently being delivered to Islamabad was that Pakistan has to do more to tackle ties between the ISI and Islamic extremists based in the country’s tribal areas.

The truth is, with the ISI having partnered with the CIA time and again, or in reality being part and parcel of the CIA, the ISI is expected go completely go along with the CIA / U.S. / Pentagon / “Defense Department (really should still be called the ‘War Department’)” game plan, or else. Or else they will not be allowed to continue to exist. Pakistan will cease being an ally of the U.S. government, and they will destroyed too (probably part of the “destroy Muslim countries and take them and their resources over plan” eventually anyway; after all, it’s been admitted that Arabia, now a U.S. ally, and other present U.S. allies, are also targets for destruction and takeover). Of course, they will probably be destroyed anyway. But they’re putting on a show for the world public and allied governments right now, that there’s supposedly a rift between them. The message: “You don’t fool with Mother (CIA) [and/or the Fourth Reich / NWO / RCC (Roman Catholic Church) and their goals for one-world government, one-world counterfeit 'Christian' religion, the anti-Christ, and the Mark of the Beast (in other words, 100% doing the will of Satan/Lucifer/the Illuminati)] (etc.)”. Their god’s, Lucifer/Satan’s, will be done, or else; and his game plan to destroy most of humankind will be accomplished no matter what. (Their thinking.)
