| [Tolo News] Iran is working with Pakistain's intelligence agency to stoke violence in Afghanistan, the Ministry of Interior's Deputy Minister of Security Abdul Rahman Rahman said Sunday. Afghanistan's Senate summoned Rahman and Deputy Head of Operations at the National Directorate of Security Mohammad Yasin Zia to answer questions on the liquidation of former senator and top peace envoy Arsala Rahmani, who was rubbed out by unknown gunnies last week in Kabul. Rahman said that Death Eaters, with the full support of Pakistain's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), have launched operation 'Al-Farooq' which called for the targeting of high-ranking government officials, namely the members of Afghanistan's High Peace Council. He claimed Iran was also involved following its pressure on the country's politicians to not approve the long-term agreement Afghanistan had made with the US. "Iran is clearly interfering in Afghanistan and it tries to see violence escalate in Afghanistan in close collaboration with the ISI through supporting and equipping the Haqqani network, Lashkar-e-Taiba ...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... and Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan Death Eaters," Rahman told the Senate. Zia said that members of the Mullah Dadullah Front Death Eater group members were newly-trained in both of the neighboring countries and were involved in propaganda against the Afghan government. He said Afghan government officials had been sent phone messages threatening them to not approve the Afghan-US strategic agreement signed on May 2. He also said that forces of Evil are trying to destabilize the country because of the NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A cautionary tale of cost-benefit analysis.... summit and Afghan-US deal. "Both of the neighboring countries are trying to cause unrest among Afghan people by launching propaganda against the national interests of Afghanistan," Zia said. He also accused Pakistain's ISI for being involved in the liquidation of Rahmani, saying that ISI had asked Rahmani several times to leave Afghanistan and live in Pakistain. "ISI had repeatedly requested Arsala Rahmani not to work with this government and leave Afghanistan and live in Pakistain," Zia told the MPs Sunday. This comes as the NDS said Saturday that three members of the Mullah Dadullah group were cooled for a few years Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'! in Kabul yesterday in possession of boom jacket and rifles. The Mullah Dadullah Front claimed the responsibility of Rahmani's liquidation, according to Pak newspaper Express-Tribune. |

| #1 NATO is repor interested in [post-2014] "strategic alliance" wid Pakistan, whcih should worry Tehran as BFF Islamabad = Pakistan has the LRBMS + NucWarheads Tehran would like to have. Lest we fergit, US-WORLD PERTS = Iran doesn't need Nuclear Weapons due its level of national or domestic Oil Reserves, thus the only reason for Iran to want + maintain a reliable NucProg is to de facto dev Nuclear Weapons. |
