The US has asked Pakistan to target all terror groups, following the release of a latest American State Department cable which suggested strong links between Pakistan's notorious spy agency ISI and the Haqqani Network. "We have been consistently clear with the highest levels of the Government of Pakistan that it must target all terror groups, including the Haqqani Network, al-Qaeda, Lashkar-e Tayyiba," said State Department Spokesman John Kirby. "The Government of Pakistan itself has repeatedly said it's not going to discriminate against a terrorist group regardless of their agenda or affiliation," he said.
According to one of the cables, the ISI paid a whopping USD 200,000 to the dreaded Haqqani Network for a suicide attack on a CIA camp in Afghanistan in 2009 that killed seven American agents and contractors and three others.
