Pakistan fuels Insurgency in Afghanistan, Documents Reveal

Reports of a secret military field published by an organisation on Sunday claims that the war Americans are fighting in Afghanistan is aided by Pakistan's hidden hand

Even though Pakistan receives more than $1 billion a year from Washington for its help fighting the insurgents, Pakistan's military spy service guides the Afghan insurgency, reports find.

The documents made public by an organisation called WikiLeaks, suggest that Pakistan allows representatives of its spy service to meet directly with the Taliban to sketch plots and attacks against American soldiers fighting in Afghanistan.

Much of the information gathered from the field in Afghanistan likely comes from sources aligned with Afghan spy organisations which consider Pakistan an enemy.

Much of the findings of the documents rely on sources that the military rated as reliable.

Days before the Kabul Conference, the US Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, visited Pakistan to discuss security and announced $500 million in assistance and called the United States and Pakistan "partners joined in common cause."

Pakistani military officials as usual deny such accusations with anger and insist that the ISI cut its ties to the groups years ago.
