WikiLeaks: ISI chief met Israelis to stop India attack

There have been contact between these two countries for a while but it has never been public somehow I just feel this will be a problem for that Christian Pakistani who has received a death sentence for alleged blasphemy…anyhow clerics and their followers and less politically savvy people of Pakistan which constitute a major chunk of its population have tendency to be super suspicious at the very mention of ISREAL. It will just add another wound to credibility of the government ….. Wikileaks is the decedent of Anarchy…Recommend

Pakistan doesn’t recognize Israel. Then how can it contact Israelis? Is this a de-facto recognition of Israel by Pakistan?Recommend

@Nadir
For once, Nadir finally says something, we BOTH agree on! :DRecommend

Our business community also have good relations and some of our ruling elite also shook hands with Israel’s high up on foreign trips so what is wrong if our spy master also talked whether directly or indirectly. There was a time when Iran purchased spare parts for their fighter aircraft from Israel but now both are enemy No.1. One must not forget that connections on highest level are never disconnected. So no surprise and nothing to worry about connections.Recommend

Iran also purchased weapons from Israel and USA during war against Iraq, although Iran did not recongnize Israel and had no diplomatic ties with USA. World is not pure black and white, there are many grey areas too, especially when you are fighting terrorists. There is no harm in destroying one devil with the help of another devil.Recommend

What this also illustrates is that the ISI was, as an institution, collaborating with various countries to prevent terrorist attacks, and in this particular case in fact was acting to prevent a terrorist attack in India, and shared that information with multiple intelligence agencies including the CIA, and asked them to pass it on to the Indians.

This debunks the Indian propaganda that the ISI was complicit in the Mumbai attacks, when it was clearly acting to provide information to other intel agencies to prevent an attack.Recommend

How did pasha know of india attacks before hand? I thought it was all non-state actors doin it. So why didn’t pasha just foiled the attack…Recommend

I am happy that Wikileaks is instrumental in unraveling many of ISI’s hidden dimensions and their dynamic with ‘non-state’ elements to the extent that the two are indistinguishable. It is obvious that the ISI is privy to everything that the ‘non-state’ elements are up to – if this revelation is any indication. What remains to be seen is how long the charade can play out. Thanks to America being bogged down in Afghanistan, this act will continue for some time to come. After that, it is anybody’s guess.Recommend

The comments by “Agnostic Muslim” make a lot of sense. I myself believe that if this leak (as is with the most things quoted on WikiLeaks) is credible, that means ISI was actually trying to prevent Mumbai Attacks.

As unfortunate and violent the Mumbai Attacks were, we here in pakistan have been subjected to similar incidents things on a daily basis, and even worse, the threat of something like that repeating itself still looms.

If ISI was in touch with Indian or Isareli agencies to prevent anything like that from happening, in Pakistan or elsewhere, I wouldn’t mind that.Recommend

it is total bs that isi do so would any one belive that isi do soRecommend
