My Comment: The quote that got my attention was the following ....
.... "Because Sirajuddin [Haqqani] remains in hiding, his younger brother Badruddin co-ordinates all military operations for the Haqqani network. The group has become highly centralised around Badruddin and very little can occur with his knowledge or consent."
"Senior Taliban representatives, such as Nasiruddin Haqqani, maintain residences in the immediate vicinity of ISI headquarters in Islamabad, Pakistan."
A top secret NATO report is confirming that some of the Taliban leadership live next door to the headquarters of Pakistan ISI intelligence services. Sighhh .... first it was Bin laden living next door to a Pakistani military base, now some of the Taliban's leadership live next door to Pakistan's intelligence services .... this stinks.
