Prime minister sees no spy ties with Taliban

By IRNA,

New York : Pakistani Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani said US concerns about collusion between members of his nation’s intelligence agency and terrorists are being taken seriously and “will be resolved.”

He told reporters in Washington and editors of The Washington Times that he had seen no evidence to support allegations that Pakistan?s Inter-Services Intelligence, known as ISI, is compromised.

Asked whether he was confident that the ISI contained no pockets of Taliban sympathy, Gilani said, “I’m pretty sure about it.” But he added, “We still have to look into the accusations.”
It will be resolved.” Pakistani police officers take position at a check post in Kabul, a troubled area of Swat valley in northern Pakistan on Wednesday.

Pakistan imposed a round-the-clock curfew in the restive mountain valley in the northwest on Wednesday as the army claimed more than 20 militants died in clashes with security forces.

Top CIA and US military officials traveled to Pakistan this month in part to complain about ties between Pakistani officials and Taliban insurgent groups that may have contributed to a rise in attacks in both Afghanistan and Pakistan.
