Pak supporting anti-India militants: WikiLeaks

  • Pakistan's army is covertly sponsoring four major militant groups, including the Afghan Taliban and Mumbai attackers Lashkar-e-Taiba, and "no amount of money" will change the policy, the U.S. ambassador warned in a frank critique revealed by the state department cables.
  • Although Pakistan had received more than $16 billion in American aid since 2001, "there is no chance that Pakistan will view enhanced assistance... as sufficient compensation for abandoning support to these groups", Anne Patterson wrote in a secret review of Afghanistan-Pakistan strategy in September 2009.
