and the notorious Haqqani terrorist network.

The Pentagon report, prepared by the Inspector General, complied with the helip of the Department of State and United States Agency for International Development, covers the period from January to March of Operation Freedom’s Sentinel, the U.S. military mission in Afghanistan.

"Pakistain continues to harbor the Taliban and associated murderous Moslem groups in Pakistain, such as the Haqqani Network, which maintains the ability to conduct attacks against Afghan interests," the report said.

The report also added that Islamabad has encouraged the Afghan Taliban to participate in peace talks but that it "refrained from applying coercive pressure that would seriously threaten its relationship with the Afghan Taliban to dissuade the group from conducting further violence."

This comes as Pak leaders have repeatedly assured Washington that they support peace and stability in Afghanistan.

Pentagon stated in its report that Islamabad’s primary strategic objective in Afghanistan is to counter its regional archrival, India, and prevent the spillover of instability from the neighboring country.

"Pakistain likely views increased Taliban influence in Afghanistan as supporting its overall objectives and will seek to influence intra-Afghan peace talks in a direction favorable to Pakistain," the report noted.
