Pakistani spy agency ISI supplied suicide bombers in Afghanistan with explosives-strapped motorcycles and listened in on telephone networks to supply
them crucial information — all right under the nose of the US intelligence establishment.


n a threat assessment report dated August 27, 2007, one of the many leaked by Wikileaks, the US intelligence establishment admits it has information that
all calls made to the largest mobile phone company in Afghanistan, Roshan, are routed through Pakistan. With a non-existent landline network, most
telephone users in Afghanistan — including coalition force members and foreign nationals — are dependent on this mobile network. “Reporting from
February 2007 indicates Pakistani intelligence service (ISI) is currently collecting and databasing all Roshan calls and numbers from Afghanistan.
Reportedly, when a Roshan user places a call to any number — either inside or outside Afghanistan — the call is re-routed through Pakistan,” the
intelligence report says.
