Are there any books written by these two famous ISI Afghan Cell officials from the 1980s?

This is an interesting book for anyone interested to read the history of Soviet- Afghan War from Pakistani perspective.

A Pakistani old man just dropped a custom foldable AR and the craftsmanship is actually insane.

Amazing world of the shifting sands of national interest: How Iran supported USA in war against Taliban.(Iran's Grand Strategy by Vali Nasr)

Absolutely false. In the words of Iran's president 'Khatami': “The Taliban was our enemy. America thought the Taliban was their enemy too. If they toppled the Taliban, it would serve the interests of Iran.” In the light of this philoosphy, intelligence sharing channels were opened between Iran and the US. Meetings were held in european capitals where IRGC shared intelligence on Taliban positions and strongholds to facilitate american airbombing. Post invasion in 2001, IRGC Quds force commander 'Qassem Soleimani' fought alongside american troops to capture herat and topple the Taliban. Iranian state media openly celebrated the victory, broadcasting celebrations from Herat. According to James Dobbins (acting ambassador of USA to afghanistan) "In Tokyo, one of the Iranian diplomats took me aside to reaffirm his governments desire to continue to cooperate on Afghanistan." Dobbins further adds: "Two months later in Geneva, the Iranians asked to see me on the fringes of another multilateral meeting we were having about Afghanistan. They introduced me to an Iranian general who said that Iran was willing to contribute to an American led program to build a new Afghan National Army." As late as 2020, Iranian foreign minister Javed Zarif said: "the Taliban has committed many terrorist acts, and we have not removed the Taliban from our list of terrorist groups."

Killings of tribal elders continue in former FATA. This morning, one of the region's most prominent tribal chiefs, Malik Tariq Muhammad Yargulkhel of the Ahmedzai Wazir lost his life alongside two others in an explosion in Wana Bazaar, Lower Waziristan tribal district.

🚨BREAKING: For the first time, the original Pakistani cypher — cable I-0678, the document that triggered the removal of former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan — is being released in full by Drop Site.

Massive bombshell. Prof. Marandi confirms Iran explicitly armed the Taliban to defeat the disastrous US occupation of Afghanistan.

I have noticed General Musharraf supporters are mostly cool and do well in life.

Sanam Saeed and Hussain Rehar, a proud moment seeing Pakistani talent at Cannes 🤍💚

Born in Mirpur & died in Waziristan. Quite the life. Also feels weird seeing someone named by CNN “the most dangerous person on earth” sitting in Kotli speaking our mari twari zabaan 😭
