But Musharraf rejected allegations that the ISI was collaborating with the insurgents, saying that the ISI was closely working with US intelligence. “We had some incidents I know of that in some posts, a blind eye was being turned. So similarly I imagine that others may be doing the same,” he said. He gave the example of a typical checkpost on the Afghan border, saying it was difficult if only two men on guard are faced with a group of “20 well-armed, well-trained and well-motivated people challenging them”. |
