Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) is behind the fighting across war-raged Afghanistan, says Afghan Vice-President Abdul Rashid Dostum, the media reported. “The war not only in north, but in entire country, everyone knows, who are leading them,” TOlONews quoted Dostum as saying. “One day, the (insurgent) groups fight under the name of al-Qaeda and the other day under the name of ISIS. But ISI and Pakistan’s (military) generals are organising and financing these groups,” he said. Dostum stated that Pakistan wanted to continue the war in Afghanistan through the ISIS, which he said was a puppet of neighbouring country.
