| Description | Intercepted phone calls show Taliban commanders have been orchestrating deadly attacks here and in other parts of Afghanistan from a safe haven across the border in Pakistan, a senior Afghan intelligence official told The Associated Press.
The resurgent Taliban forces — who were chased from Afghanistan two years ago by the U.S.-led war — are getting protection from Islamic hardline politicians and rogue elements of Pakistani security, Afghan and Western officials charge.
Pakistani officials strongly deny that the Taliban are receiving sanctuary in their territory.
Pakistan was a strong supporter of the Taliban regime, but switched sides following the Sept. 11 attacks and has become a key ally of the United States. Still, rogue elements of the military and intelligence services are believed to have maintained old allegiances. |
