DTN News - PAKISTAN NEWS: Pakistan's ISI Spy Agency Has 'Militant Links' Says Adm Mike Mullen....NSI News Source Info # 1849

**Analysis - M Ilyas Khan BBC News Islamabad: The so-called Haqqani network is the most effective insurgent group operating in Afghanistan. Its leadership has been based in Pakistan's north-western Waziristan region since the late 1970s, and is believed to have maintained close contacts with the Pakistani security establishment. The network comprises fighters from south-eastern provinces of Afghanistan, and militant groups based in North and South Waziristan.
Pakistani military officials and defence analysts suggest that while the ISI did raise and fund Islamic militants during the 1980s and 1990s, they have since lost control over them.
