Bado kuna haja ya kuangalia upya ubora wa inteligency agency ya pakistani.

The
Directorate for Inter-Services Intelligence (more commonly known as
Inter-Services Intelligence or simply by its initials
ISI), is the premier
Intelligence service of the
Islamic Republic of Pakistan, operationally responsible for providing critical
national security and intelligence assessment to the
Government of Pakistan. The
ISI is the largest of the three
intelligence services of Pakistan, the others being the
Intelligence Bureau (IB) and
Military Intelligence (MI). Previously in the 20th century, the
ISI's work and activities have included the support of the
Afghan mujahideen in then-
communist Afghanistan against the
Soviet Union in
their war against the mujahideen (in conjunction with the
Central Intelligence Agency) and later provided strategic and intelligence support to the
Taliban against the
Indo-Iranian backing the
Northern Alliance in the
civil war in
Afghanistan in 1990s.[SUP]

The
ISI is the successor of the IB and MI formed after the
Indo-Pakistani War of 1947 to co-ordinate and operate
espionage activities for the three branches of the
Pakistan Armed Forces. The
ISI was established as an independent intelligence service in 1948 in order to strengthen the sharing of
military intelligence between the three branches of Pakistan's armed forces in the aftermath of the Indo-Pakistani War of 1947, which had exposed weaknesses in intelligence gathering, sharing and coordination between the
Army,
Air Force and
Navy. From its inception, the agency has been headed by an appointed
three-star general officer in the Pakistan Army, despite officers from all three branches of the Pakistan Armed Forces being served and hired by the
ISI. However, after the intelligence gathering and coordination failure during the
Indo-Pakistani war of 1971, the
Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee was created with a mandate to co-ordinate and supervise all military exercises and operations of the Pakistan Armed Forces.
The
Chief of Army Staff recommends the names of the Director General, but official confirmation and appointment is needed from the
Prime minister.[SUP]
