A report by the London School of Economics on June 13, 2010, claimed that Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence agency (ISI) was supporting the Taliban insurgency in Afghanistan. “Mr. [Matt] Waldman is a fellow at Harvard University who worked in Afghanistan previously for the humanitarian organization Oxfam. ‘Without a change in Pakistani behavior, it will be difficult if not impossible for international forces and the Afghan government to make progress against the insurgency,’ he wrote.”
