| Pakistan will go on providing safe haven to Lashkar-e-Taiba: Clapper | ||

...the Army of the Pure,an Ahl-e-Hadith terror organization founded by Hafiz Saeed. LeT masquerades behind the Jamaat-ud-Dawa facade within Pakistain and periodically blows things up and kills people in India. Despite the fact that it is banned, always an interesting concept in Pakistain, the organization remains an blatant tool and perhaps an arm of the ISI... which will remain a key irritant in ties with India, a top American spy master has said.
Pakistain, he said, will probably continue to implement some economic reforms and target anti-Pakistain turbans and their activities. "(Pak) Prime Minister (Nawaz) Sharif's promises to address economic, energy, and security issues almost certainly fell short of high public expectations. Furthermore, his standing weakened when he reportedly asked the army to step in and handle opposition protests in late 2014," he said. "We assess that Islamabad will approve some additional economic reforms in 2015. Undertaking future economic and energy reforms will be more challenging and will probably face greater political and popular opposition," he added. Clapper said the Pakistain government will probably focus in 2015 on diminishing the capabilities of the Tehrik-e-Taliban (TTP) which claimed the attack on a school in December that left over 130 children dead. | ||
