Kabul: The Northern Alliance led by Afghanistan Vice-President Amrullah Saleh and Ahmad Masood has revealed more evidence of a direct role of Pakistan in strengthening Taliban. The Northern Alliance has revealed an identity card found by them, purportedly of a Pakistani, amid the clash with the Taliban.
It it is not a secret that Pakistan is the main supporter of Taliban terrorists as it has always favoured the Taliban rule in Afghanistan. Pakistan and its intelligence service, the Inter-Services Intelligence Directorate (ISI), have more influence over the Taliban than any other country.
Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi has rejected the claims and accused that this is a propaganda spread by Saleh. Qureshi also said that the Taliban has declared amnesty across the country and are not barring girls’ education.
