ISI refuses intelligence-sharing with CIA: Report

The Telegraph reported that the ISI has refused intelligence sharing with CIA after the Abbottabad operation.

The Telegraph reported on Saturday that Pakistan's intelligence agencies have refused intelligence sharing with their American counterparts after the Abbottabad operation.

The report says that ISI has started withholding crucial operational details about militants after the Abbottabad raid that killed Osama bin Laden.

It says that the ISI, which prides itself on arresting important terrorists including the 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, has now broken off relations with the CIA.

The report states:

"They are furious. They handed over telephone intercepts in 2009 that were crucial in leading to bin Laden's courier – the key breakthrough in the hunt," said a source briefed on relations between the two countries.

"Then four months ago they were told there was nothing in it, it was what the Americans called a 'cold lead'. Since then they have been left out completely out of the loop."

The newspaper says that in order to keep Pakistan in the dark, the US officials gave the impression that leads provided to them by Pakistan lack any crucial substance.
