Pakistan and Iran are together supporting insurgents in Afghanistan, Germany’s Bild reported today, citing a classified NATO document.
The document stated evidence from July showed Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence was leading a joint initiative to provide funds and training to Taliban insurgents in northern Afghanistan, where 5,000 German soldiers are based, Bild said.
The ISI is also sponsoring production of automatic weapons in Peshawar, Pakistan, for use in Afghanistan, Bild said.
