It’s an open secret that the Taliban in Afghanistan is to some degree a creation of Pakistan’s “military within a military,” it’s Inter-Services Intelligence. Well, first, the Taliban expanded into border agencies of Pakistan, along with allied but independent groups. Now, they’re attacking the ISI.
That said, beyond the schadenfreude, this is a serious issue. The ISI could decide it needs a change of direction, even some housecleaning, or it could try to co-opt the militants, or it could decide to ride the range with them in tandem.
More on the main attack here.
