| [Iran Press TV Latest] Pakistan says detained militant commanders have confessed to the involvement of foreign secret services in Taliban-linked violence in the country's northwestern tribal belt. A report by a Pakistani investigation team has claimed 23 Tehrik-e-Taliban commanders have admitted to receiving financial aid, weapons and special training from Indian and Afghan secret agencies, the Dawn reported on Saturday. Among the commanders confessing are Sim Khan, Mahmood Khan and Maulvi Umer who were captured by security forces during 'Operation Rah-e-Rast' in the lawless Swat valley. The report further disclosed that some militants underwent terrorist training in Afghanistan. It also accused India's secret departments, including its Foreign Intelligence Agency (RAW), of being in contact with those militants in Afghanistan's Jalalabad, Kandahar and Mazar Sharif. Meetings between Tehrik-e-Taliban militants and their foreign collaborators were reportedly arranged during feasts where the terrorists were provided with weapons and money earned through narcotics trade, according to the report. |
