Abacus | 8 years ago | Reply Cheers! Then how come Afghanistan's National Directorate of Security, with whom pakistan has signed some MoU, states today that two members of the Haqqani network, operating from Peshawar were responsible for the attack on the Kabul guesthouse. Am giving an international link, else the same old rant about Indian media will be trotted out. http://www.voanews.com/content/afghanistan-kabul-guesthouse-attack-arrests/2806064.html Quote - Sideqi added the case is being investigated solely by the NDS, even though the agency recently signed a memorandum of understanding with Pakistan’s intelligence agency, ISI, for intelligence sharing and jointly investigating terrorism suspects. But, “The practical part of the cooperation between the two services has yet to be defined,” he pointed out.
