CIA, ISI intensify joint operations in Pakistan
Obama administration's pressure on Pakistan military leadership is yielding some result, says a reliable source in Washington DC, as ISI and CIA are teaming-up to intensify operations in Baluchistan
A senior Pakistani official told us today that ISI and CIA have conducted over fifty joint operations recently. "These are very complex engagements. CIA and ISI depend on each other for not only success of these operations but to watch each other's back," official said stressing under the apparent tension–there is solid cooperation between two intelligence agencies.
Other Pakistani government officials complain that their army is overstretched and under- appreciated for handling vicious terrorists in Swat, South Waziristan and Orakzai.
Obama administration has sent several senior officials to Islamabad in past two weeks urging Pakistan to tackle North Waziristan and allow drone strikes into the western province of Balochistan.
