Lahore, May 12(ANI): Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) operatives have infiltrated the Taliban and Al-Qaeda networks, and have created their own Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) force in order to destabilise Pakistan, a Pakistani newspaper has claimed.

Much of the information-gathering network of Pakistan's supreme security service was curtailed in the country's tribal areas during former military ruler Pervez Musharraf's era, consequently giving an edge to America's CIA, The Nation reported.

The CIA was given direct access to the entire territory of North and South Waziristan, which has since developed its stronghold in the belt, it added.

According to sources, the CIA's operations, which were suspended in Balochistan, Punjab, Islamabad and other areas of the country after the Raymond Allen Davis (RAD) incident, have also been restored.

Responding to a query, the sources said that the CIA operatives have infiltrated the Taliban and Al-Qaeda networks, and have created their own TTP force, the paper said.

This force has been recruited, trained and equipped by these CIA operatives to target the Pakistan Army personnel, armed forces' installations, markets, hospitals, schools and public places to destabilise Pakistan, the paper added.

Clinton warns Taliban 'you cannot wait us out'

WASHINGTON (AFP) - Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Monday warned the Taliban it cannot defeat the United States in Afghanistan, using Al-Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden's killing in Pakistan to press for an end to their insurgency.

The chief US diplomat also said cooperation with Pakistan led to bin Laden's death despite doubts she and other US officials have voiced about Islamabad's willingness to work with Washington to root out Al-Qaeda.

In neighboring Afghanistan, "we will continue taking the fight to Al-Qaeda and their Taliban allies, while working to support the Afghan people as they build a stronger government," Clinton told reporters.

Chomsky: US-led Afghan war, criminal

PressTv

Renowned Jewish-American scholar Noam Chomsky says US invasion of Afghanistan was illegal since to date there is no evidence that al-Qaeda has carried out the 9/11 attacks.

"The explicit and declared motive of the [Afghanistan] war was to compel the Taliban to turn over to the United States, the people who they accused of having been involved in World Trade Center and Pentagon terrorist acts. The Taliban…they requested evidence…and the Bush administration refused to provide any," the 81-year-old senior academic made the remarks on Press TV's program a Simple Question. 

"We later discovered one of the reasons why they did not bring evidence: they did not have any." 

The political analyst also said that nonexistence of such evidence was confirmed by FBI eight months later. 

"The head of FBI, after the most intense international investigation in history, informed the press that the FBI believed that the plot may have been hatched in Afghanistan, but was probably implemented in the United Arab Emirates and Germany." 

Chomsky added that three weeks into the war, "a British officer announced that the US and Britain would continue bombing, until the people of Afghanistan overthrew the Taliban... That was later turned into the official justification for the war." 

"All of this was totally illegal. It was more, criminal," Chomsky said. 

The 2001 US-led invasion of Afghanistan was launched with the official objective of curbing militancy and bringing peace and stability to the country. 

Nine years on, however, the American and Afghan officials admit that the country remains unstable and civilians continue to pay the heaviest price.

Pakistan resists US push to expand terror fight

ISLAMABAD — Pakistan's foreign minister says the country's military will deal with a key Taliban sanctuary along the Afghan border on its own timeline despite U.S. pressure.

Shah Mahmood Qureshi spoke Sunday after returning from Washington following the latest round of high level strategic talks with the Obama administration.

The U.S. has pressed Pakistan to target Taliban militants based in the country's North Waziristan tribal area who regularly launch cross-border attacks against foreign troops in Afghanistan.

Qureshi said Pakistan has its own priorities and must focus on operations it has already launched in its tribal belt before turning to North Waziristan.

US quietly testing 'scary new war in Pakistan'

David Edwards
Raw Story

Don’t get it twisted, MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow essentially told her viewers Thursday night.

“Borders matter” and “AfPak” is not the name of a single country. Contrary to popular and media opinion, America is now fighting in three countries: Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Since President Barack Obama took office, the US has increased the number of airstrikes in Pakistan by unmanned aerial vehicles. “We have shot missiles at people in Pakistan 20 times in the past 23 days,” Maddow noted Wednesday.


Pakistan has largely been silent about the unmanned airstrikes but that changed after reports said the US had started using manned aircraft. Pakistan reportedly closed down US supply lines leading into Afghanistan when they learned that a US helicopter had attacked inside Pakistan.

McClatchy reported:
Pakistan closed down a critical supply route for U.S. and allied forces in Afghanistan on Thursday after U.S. helicopters crossed into Pakistan during a confused, predawn attack that killed three Pakistani paramilitary troops.

Pakistan shuttered one of the two main crossings into Afghanistan hours after a pair of Apache helicopters apparently attacked a border post, manned by the paramilitary Frontier Corps, about 200 yards inside Pakistan.

…Hundreds of supply trucks bound for the busy Torkham crossing north of Peshawar were sidelined in Pakistan as the U.S.-led security force said it was investigating.
