Pakistan troops 'aid Taliban'
New classified US documents reveal that mass infiltration of Frontier Corps by Afghan insurgents is helping latest offensive

The Pakistani Frontier Corps has been heavily infiltrated and influenced by Taliban militants, sometimes joining in attacks on coalition forces, according to classified US 'after-action' reports compiled following clashes on the border.

According to those familiar with the material, regarded as deeply sensitive by the Pentagon in view of America's fragile relationship with Pakistan, there are 'box loads' of such reports at US bases along the length of the Pakistan-Afghan border. Details of the level of infiltration emerged yesterday on a day when five more US-led soldiers were killed in southern Afghanistan. Four of the soldiers died in a bomb and gunfire attack outside the southern city of Kandahar.

Nato officials have reported a dramatic increase in cross-border incidents compared with the same period last year. The US documents describe the direct involvement of Frontier Corps troops in attacks on the Afghan National Army and coalition forces, and also detail attacks launched so close to Frontier Corps outposts that Pakistani co-operation with the Taliban is assumed.

'The reality,' said a source familiar with the situation on the ground, 'is that there are units so opposed to what the coalition is doing and so friendly to the other side that when the opportunity comes up they will fire on Afghan and coalition troops. And this is not random. It can be exceptionally well co-ordinated.'

Was it an ‘intelligence failure’ to give red carpet treatment to the ‘money man’ behind the 9-11 terrorists, or was it simply ‘routine’?

On the morning of September 11, Pakistan's Chief Spy General Mahmoud Ahmad, the alleged "money-man" behind the 9-11 hijackers, was at a breakfast meeting on Capitol Hill hosted by Senator Bob Graham and Rep. Porter Goss, the chairmen of the Senate and House Intelligence committees.

are just an extension of the Pakistani Army and Intelligence service. That Bush gave them so much hush money just makes 9/11 look more like an inside job.

Does anyone in their right mind believe that the Pakistani military establishment is going to abandon their own creation to placate Bush? That's just unreasonable.

The tribal areas are not under control of the Pakistani central government BECAUSE the military establishment doesn't want them to be.

This is kabuki.

US forces could not be used because they were preparing to invade Iraq, a country that had nothing to do with 9-11.

Bin Laden walks free because of corporate greed.

we really have to worry about.
