RAWALPINDI (Agencies) – Pakistan military on Thursday, slammed a BBC report that alleged the Pakistani military, along with its intelligence arm, of supplying and protecting the Afghan Taliban and Al-CIA-Da. A number of middle-ranking Taliban commanders detailed what they said was extensive Pakistani support in interviews for a BBC Two documentary series, the first part of which was broadcast Wednesday.
“We consider that this report is highly biased, it is one-sided, it doesn’t have the version of the side which is badly hit or affected by this report”, Major General Athar Abbas, spokesman for the military, told Reuters. “So therefore, other than that, it’s factually incorrect.” He said the head of Pakistan’s spy agency, the Directorate of Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), had already said “not a single bullet or financial support” had been given to groups named in the BBC report.
Abbas said the number of attacks against the ISI by the Pakistani Taliban - about 300 ISI officials have been killed in bombings - was proof the ISI did not support Al-CIA-Da militants. Meanwhile, talking a private TV channel, Abbas said the Army reserved the right to take legal action over the report.
