ISI (B)

[nirreich]

Hello everyone,

I would happy if one of the experts of this website could help me to know more about B wing/section of the Inter-Services Intelligence.

I found out about it in the following report of the News (from Novemebr 8, 2008):

On Nov 7, 2008, four directors of ISI were changed. This has come within a month of the appointment of Lieutenant General Ahmad Shuja Pasha as the new ISI chief in place of Lieutenant General Nadeem Taj.
The new Directors are Major General Asif Yaseen (ISI (B); Major General Mumtaz Ahmad Bajwa; Major General Zaheerul Islam; and Major General Niaz Khattak.

Thank you and best wishes.

Thank you for your replies.

Of course, Intelligence agencies usually try to maintain a cloud of mystery on their activities and their organisation, although some intelligence agencies (mainly in the US) are more open and share information on their structure.

However, regarding the ISI: if ISI (B) is classified, then why it was mentioned in a report in a Pakistani newspaper? Furthermore, other wings of the ISI Directorate (such as A, C, CT, T, and S) were made public by several media resources, some of them of Pakistan's government and military.

I am sorry to disappoint you, but there are still some ordinary citizens in Israel... My business with the ISI is purely academic: I am writing a dissertation on Pakistan's defence establishment.

What is the topic of your dissertation? why you selected Pakistan's defense establishment?
Where i know only Haifa University, Leonard Davis Institute for International Relations and Hebrew University of Jerusalem allowed their students to write such dissertation. Am i right?

So, the ISI HQ is in Islamabad... Isn't it classified too?

 

[nirreich]

You can write on Pakistan in any university in Israel (Haifa, Tel Aviv, Hebrew University in Jerusalem, etc.). My research is on militaries as bureaucratic organisations and their ways of operation. Pakistan's military is the focus of my research in light of its influence and dominant position.

Another report from Pakistani newspaper (Dawn), this time on ISI (C):


A highly authoritative source told DawnNews that not only the ‘political wing’ was being disbanded, the officials working there have been given other assignments linked to the agency’s original role of counter-intelligence.

The source said with this decision taken at the highest level, the ISI would now be able to deal with more pressing issues like handling the crucial aspects of the war against terror.

Until recently, the so-called ‘political wing’ used to work under ISI’s Director General (C) which otherwise also deals with counter-intelligence activities.

With this decision taken at the top level, and implemented by the newly appointed ISI chief, the agency has dissociated itself from making or breaking of political parties and alliances.

‘Following this decision, the ISI will be no more spying on politicians, and will play no role in manoeuvring or manipulating political activities in the country,’ the source said.

By now it had become common knowledge that the so-called ‘political wing’, whose existences was otherwise never officially acknowledged, was manned by a brigadier, two colonels and a number of other junior military and civil officials, who would now be absorbed in other departments of the agency.

Although the ‘wing’ was associated with several controversial activities in the past, including the creation of an anti-Benazir Bhutto alliance in 1988, more recently it played a vital role in the 2002 general elections and helped the then president Pervez Musharraf in fulfilling his political objectives and formation of a coalition government with new factions of PML.

The source said the decision had been conveyed to the political leadership of the country and they had been told that the agency should not be approached for any political motive.

I think you can get more information on Federation of American Scientists (There are only old information but may will help you in your dissertation!) than any news paper. It is hard to believe newspaper reports because they generally based on hypothesis. Same like Mossad nobody knows their real structure but only books written by their ex directors focus their structure & activities. For example Book written on ISAR HAREL (2nd Director of Mossad) is very compact book to know some detail history, perspectives & plans of this organization.

There is book about CIA but you can't find anything about ISI. Its classified even for Pakistanis working in establishment.

Thanks!

I will satisfy with an insight on what "B" in ISI (B) stands for. In light of the character of the organisation, I am not expecting a detailed explanation on the structure and functions of ISI. As was mentioned, other wings of ISI were exposed in their full name and activities. Although intelligence agencies tend to reorganise quite often, in my opinion the information about the formation of ISI is more or less valid, especially if it was published in Pakistani media by officials and connected to appointments. Like employees in the establishment, Pakistani media will not discuss ISI without authorisation.

All the best.
