LAHORE – The Central Investigation Agency (CIA) has established its own spy network in the tribal areas of Pakistan, reported The Economic Times newspaper while quoted various sources.
The US said the CIA no longer required any collaboration with the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) to specify targets for drone strikes. According to a US official, the network was developed during the last two years.
The newspaper says the meeting between the spymasters, CIA Director Leon Panetta and ISI chief Lieutenant General Ahmed Shuja Pasha, of the two countries eased tensions, but failed to resolve issues like the drone attacks and espionage, which have imperilled the vital mutual relationship.
