NEW YORK: Pakistan's powerful spy agency ISI continues to have close links with Lashkar-e-Taiba and has used the terror group's services to foment anti-India passion in Kashmir and elsewhere, a UN report said today.

"The Pakistani military organised and supported the Taliban to take control of Afghanistan in 1996. Similar tactics were used in Kashmir against India after 1989," said the much-awaited report by UN-appointed independent panel to probe the killing of former Pakistan premier Benazir Bhutto.

The three-member panel concluded that such a policy of the Pakistan military to use terrorists as a tool to achieve its strategic objectives against its neighbours resulted in active linkages between elements of the military and the Establishment with radical Islamists at the expense of national secular forces.

Noting that the jihadi organisations are Sunni groups based largely in Pakistan's Punjab, the 65-page report said that members of these groups aided the Taliban effort in Afghanistan at the behest of the ISI and later cultivated ties with Al-Qaeda and Pakistani Taliban groups.

This conclusively shows that there is really no indigenous struggle for freedom in Kashmir and it is all created by Pakistan with the use of terrorists.

It also shows what I have been saying all along, that Taliban IS Pakistani military and there is NO indigenous struggle for freedom in Afghanistan either. It is all Pakistani efforts to control Afghanistan.

We should become wise to this and severely restrict military and financial aid to Pakistan while encouraging an orderly balkanization of Pakistan in order to bring peace to the entire region.
