Wikileaks (II)
ISLAMABAD:
Your editorial on Wikileaks was thought-provoking. The Taliban, during their rule, laid claim on inaccessible areas in Mohmand Agency. Their polio teams would visit these areas in spite of warnings from our side. They also raided the Bin Shahi area of Dir and they never accepted the Durand Line. So they were not as good friends as we are made to believe. A Taliban-led government in Kabul should never be the priority of Pakistan.
