ISLAMABAD, July 27 (Xinhua) -- Pakistan termed as "misplaced, skewed and contrary to the factual position on the ground" the leak of 90,000 military records, which said that Pakistan's intelligence agency had direct links with the Afghan Taliban, local media reported Tuesday.
The documents released by the Wikileaks website claim that representatives of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) met the Taliban in Afghanistan to help them organize attacks on American forces and Indian targets.
Pakistan on Monday rejected what it called "unsubstantiated information" posted by the WikiLeaks website and termed them " baseless", according to the local newspaper Daily Times.
"The people of Pakistan and its security forces, including the ISI, have rendered enormous sacrifices against militancy and terrorism," the Pakistani Foreign Ministry said.
"Our contributions have been acknowledged by the international community, in particular by the United States," the Ministry's spokesman Abdul Basit said in a statement.
The spokesman referred to the statement by the U.S. National Security Advisor on Wikileaks, who said that the ongoing counterterrorism cooperation between Pakistan and the U.S. will continue with a view to defeating their common enemies.
The documents also say that Islamabad is organizing plans to murder Afghan leaders.
The reports mention ISI's efforts to "control suicide bombers" that suddenly emerged in 2006 in Afghanistan. The reports insist that Pakistan had allowed the ISI to directly meet the Taliban, and that members of the organization took part in Taliban meetings to plan Taliban activities and arrange plots to kill Afghan leaders.
According to the documents, Pakistan's support of the Taliban has given the group access to anti-aircraft rockets that could enable the group to even target NATO planes, something which is an issue of concern for Afghan and NATO officials.
