Pakistan created, trained and equipped Talibans that is a historical fact.
Some points for you to pounder
but I am damn sure you will repeat your bias & hypocrite attitude towards Pakistan & its Institutions ....
- The
mujahedin benefited from U.S. weapons,
provided through the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in cooperation with Pakistan’s Inter-Service Intelligence directorate (ISI).
- The
State Department has said that a total of about $3 billion in economic and covert military assistance was provided by the United States to the Afghan mujahedin from 1980 until the end of the Soviet occupation in 1989.
- U.S. Assistance to Afghanistan During the 1990s, the
United States was the largest single provider of assistance to the Afghan people even though no U.S. aid went directly to the Taliban government when it was in power during 1996-2001; monies were provided through relief organizations.
-
The Taliban’s leader, Mullah Muhammad Umar, had been a fighter in Khalis’s Hezb-i-Islam party during the anti-Soviet war—Khalis’ party
- The
Clinton Administration opened talks with the Taliban after it captured Qandahar in 1994 and continued to engage the movement after it took power
- Between
1985 and 1994, the United States had a cross-border aid program for Afghanistan, implemented by USAID personnel based in Pakistan.
- Even though the
Northern Alliance was supplied with Iranian, Russian, and Indian financial and military support
- Iran, perhaps attempting to demonstrate that it can cause U.S. combat deaths in Afghanistan
- Recent State Department reports on international terrorism have stated that the
Qods Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran (IRGC-QF) provides training to the Taliban on small unit tactics, small arms, explosives, and indirect weapons fire, and
that it has shipped arms to militants in Qandahar.
- This phrasing implies that Iran is arming Pashtun Taliban militants in the core of the combat zone in Afghanistan. Weapons provided reportedly include mortars, 107mm rockets, rocket-propelled grenades, and plastic explosives.
- In March 2011,
NATO said it had seized 48 Iranian-made rockets in Nimruz Province, bound for Afghan militants; the 122mm rockets have a range (13 miles) greater than those previously provided by Iran.
- On August 3, 2010, the Treasury Department, acting under Executive Order 13224, named two IRGC-QF officers as terrorism supporting entities, freezing any U.S.-based assets.
-
Iran reportedly has allowed a Taliban office to open in Iran, and high-level Taliban figures have visited Iran.
