Inter-services Intelligence Activities In Afghanistan

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Pakistan\'s Inter-Services Intelligence agency (ISI) has been heavily involved in Afghanistan since before the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. In the 1980s the ISI distributed arms and financial means provided by the United States\' Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to some factions of the mujahideen such as the Hezb-e Islami of Gulbuddin Hekmatyar. After the Soviet retreat, the ISI and the Pakistani government supported Gulbuddin Hekmatyar in his 1992-1994 bombardment campaign against the Islamic State of Afghanistan and the capital Kabul. It is widely agreed that after Gulbuddin Hekmatyar failed to take over power in Afghanistan, the ISI helped to found the Afghan Taliban. The ISI in conjunction with other parts of the Pakistani military subsequently provided financial, logistical, military and direct combat support to the Taliban until the attacks of 9/11. It is widely acknowledged that the ISI has given the Afghan Taliban safe havens inside Pakistan and supported the Taliban\'s resurgence in Afghanistan after 9/11 helping them, especially the Haqqani network, carry out attacks inside Afghanistan. Pakistani officials deny this accusation. Allegations have been raised by international government officials, policy analysts and even Pakistani military officials that the ISI in conjunction with the military leadership has also provided some amount of support and refuge to Al Qaeda. Such allegations were increasingly issued when Al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden was killed in Abbottabad, Pakistan, just miles from one of Pakistan\'s biggest military academies.
