Afghanistan 'holds Pakistani spy'
2006-12-20
HT Ace of Spades and originally caught via Political Pit Bull
Afghanistan says it has arrested a Pakistani intelligence agent who acted as a key link with al-Qaeda leaders.
WTF? Perv said "no way!"
"No, no, certainly not!"
Presidential spokesman Karim Rahimi said the agent had been detained in eastern Kunar province carrying documents which proved his guilt.
Extract all information, then apply a 3/8" Craftsman Cordless drill to his skull. Return him to the ISI as a drooling fool (their usual assistants)
Better to return him with a GPS locator in his head. And besides, the Craftsman Cordless doesn't have enough torque.
The news came a day after intelligence officials said an Afghan general had been arrested for spying for Pakistan. Afghanistan has long blamed Pakistan for cross-border attacks by the Taleban. Islamabad denies the charges.
"Lies! All lies!"
Mr Karimi named the man arrested as Sayed Akbar, who he said worked for Pakistan's controversial Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agency. "Some evidence and documents have been seized with him proving his destructive activities in Afghanistan," Mr Karimi told a news conference in the capital, Kabul.
"his multiple false passports, above and beyond those normally carried by Pak 'tourists'"
... plus the dozen cell phones and three dozen garage door openers ...
Sayed Akbar comes from the Chitral region of northern Pakistan bordering the Afghan province of Nuristan, the spokesman said.
There's a lot of Pakistan that borders Afghanistan, and most of that's filled with rubes, jihadis and tenth-century no-accounts ...
The BBC's Payenda Sargand in Kabul says, according to the Afghan authorities, Mr Akbar was in charge of relations between the ISI and al-Qaeda leaders. Officials say he has confessed to his "illegal activities" in Afghanistan. These are said to include escorting Osama Bin Laden last year from Nuristan to Chitral.
the big man hissownself? That'll cause a crimp in Perv's lie train...
On Monday, intelligence officials in Kabul said they had arrested an Afghan army general, Khair Mohammed, on charges of selling secrets to the ISI.
kill him
But first, a little momba ...
Mr Rahimi told the news conference: "National security officials arrested a defence ministry general committing national treason, spying for foreigners, and he is under investigation."

Correspondents say it is not clear if the two arrests are linked. The defence ministry issued a statement saying that Khair Mohammed had not worked for it for almost four years. There has so far been no response from Pakistan to news of either arrest.

Relations between Afghanistan and Pakistan have been tense for years, but have worsened during 2006 as violence in Afghanistan has soared. Last week, President Hamid Karzai publicly accused the Pakistani government of backing the Taleban and said it wanted to turn Afghans into "slaves".
Just want to return to the tenth century but that's close enough ...
Afghanistan says Taleban leaders plot most some of their attacks on Afghan targets from Pakistani soil.

Pakistan was once the Taleban's main sponsor, but after the September 2001 attacks in the United States Islamabad joined the US-led "war on terror". The Pakistani government denies it continues to support the militants or that it could do more to stop them crossing the porous border, and points to the deaths of hundreds of Pakistani troops fighting pro-Taleban militants in the country's tribal areas.
