‘Shadow cia’: Gul a complimentary member of Stratfor
The former ISI chief served from 1987 to 1989.
Former spy chief General Hamid Gul was reportedly a member of the US intelligence firm Stratfor, it emerged on Wednesday. A report published in the Times of India said: “Whereas seemingly large numbers of Stratfor’s subscribers and clients work in the US military and intelligence agencies, Stratfor gave complimentary membership to General Hamid Gul, the controversial former head of Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), who, according to US diplomatic cables, planned an IED attack on international forces in Afghanistan in 2006,” the report said. The former ISI chief served from 1987 to 1989.

@Pakistan politics, I hope you're being sarcastic.
Gul is a sacred cow and untouchable despite being friend of militant groups, having played leading role in buying/selling of politicians, manipulating elections, Ogri camp disaster etc.
Even the media is careful with him.
Hamid Gul is a man who has lost his significance, and thank God for that. He doesn't deserve the media coverage that he gets.
@Bhindian: it means he is at a payroll of CIA, doesn't that bother u??
Forget Stratfor, the way ET publishes selective propaganda news, its like this newspaper is a shadow cia.
so?
