NEW DELHI: Wikileaks.org editor Julian Assange has said that all the information on ISI’s links with terror is "genuine" and "authentic".
“The information has been authenticated as coming from the US military. These are internal US military reports,” said he in an interview to NDTV.
“We can see the full scale of the war- how it has been increasing, and in what sort of way, so it is really a historical archive,” said Julian.
Earlier the website Wikileaks.org, had exposed that Pakistan has nourished the insurgency in Afghanistan secretly and aggrandized the Talibans despite receiving more than a billion dollar every year from USA to fight the militants.
The documents say Pakistan’s spy agency ISI was actually cozying up to the same terrorist groups that country was apparently fighting with US aid.
Pakistan had also plotted to kill key Afghan leaders, including President Hamid Karzai, the documents said.
“There are too many civilian casualties, that area of Pakistan, including the ISI are supporting Taliban,.” he said.
“It is that level of details of specific events and regions that gives us a concrete understanding of the war, we can then go to make accurate changes in observation and policies,” he added.
Meanwhile, the Taliban in Afghanistan has threatened to behead informants who have been revealed in leaked classified intelligence documents published by the website Wikileaks.org.
The over 92,000 documents published uncensored by Wikileaks details the names and locations of anti-Taliban informers.
In the first reaction since the publication of the papers earlier this week, the Taliban on Thursday said ‘we know how to punish them,’ in an apparent reference to beheading, the usual Taliban punishment reserved for ‘traitors’, media reports said on Friday.
The Taliban’s threat has sent warning bells ringing for the nations and their allies fighting in Afghanistan.
Those who had helped the allies stand in extreme danger of life after the revelation of the documents as was pointed by international leaders and observers immediately after the documents were made public.
London, Washington and Kabul had already expressed their apprehension for safety of their soldiers fighting in Afghanistan as their locations and strategies have been compromised.
