From Press TV:

Pakistan's powerful spy agency is working with groups that support the Taliban and are killing American troops in Afghanistan, a US report says.

“All of this suggests that the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) is no longer certain the coalition forces will prevail in Afghanistan and that it is using militants groups in an attempt to expand its own influence,” the report said.

The report by the bipartisan Pakistan Policy Working Group also cites the Afghan government's allegations that ISI-supported elements that orchestrated an assassination attempt on Afghan President Hamid Karzai, and that the ISI had a role in the July 7 car bombing of Indian embassy in Kabul.

The 43-page report notes Pakistan may be the greatest challenge for US President-elect Barrack Obama.

My Comment: The report is right when it states that Pakistan's involvement and support of the Taliban and their Al Qaeda allies may become President Obama's biggest challenge. Will he pay attention to the report .... no one knows that except President-elect Obama.
