but Siachin was still captured in 1984 and pakistan could not recapture it even after deploying worlds no. 1 ssg(as pakistanis believe them to be), all the isi brilliance ended in smoke:lol:
talk some sense newbie.
 
so does it seem.

At about 09:20 on 31 October 1984, Indira Gandhi was on her way to be interviewed by British actor Peter Ustinov, who was filming a documentary for Irish television. She was walking through the garden of the Prime Minister's Residence at No. 1, Safdarjung Road in New Delhi towards the neighbouring 1 Akbar Road office.[1]

As she passed a wicket gate guarded by Satwant Singh and Beant Singh, the two opened fire. Sub-Inspector Beant Singh fired three rounds into her abdomen from his sidearm.[5] Satwant Singh then fired 30 rounds from his Sten gun into her after she had fallen to the ground.[5] After the shooting, both threw their weapons down and Beant Singh said "I have done what I had to do. You do what you want to do." In the next six minutes Tarsem Singh Jamwal and Ram Saran, soldiers in the Indo-Tibetan Border Police, captured and killed Beant Singh in a separate room. Satwant Singh was arrested by Gandhi's other bodyguards along with an accomplice trying to escape, and was seriously wounded in the attack initiated by Beant Singh.[6] Satwant Singh was hanged in 1989 with accomplice Kehar Singh.[7]

so?
 
I'd like to quote Operation Love Birds from the book of ISI's Counterintelligence Chief 'Brigadier Gen Syed Irshad Ahmed Tirmazi' during the 1980s.
'Profiles of Intelligence'

The Operation was launched when ISI agents got a tip-off about an Indian citizen (brought from India with the Indian Embassy Staff in Karachi) was trying to find a source for drug purchasing being a drug addict, ISI Personnel dispatched for the tasks found that he actually was a low level locally recruited spy from India who was sent to Pakistan as an Embassy Staff Cook, Later an ISI Agent disguised as a local pashtun(pathan) drug trader somehow managed to get him into confidence and later built strong friendship with the spy as he couldn't resist for the sake of high quality drug.
Later the agent was invited by that spy at his official residence in an Indian Embassy Senior Official's Housing, The agent was successful to put radio transmitters and recorders all inside the house and ISI found about a sexual relationship between the official's wife and his senior as the officer was excessively called by the Indian Authorities due to ahis nature of work. Successfully tapping their sounds ISI agents dealt with the lady and she agreed upon regularly revealing the Official Embassy Files to the agents for keeping her secret.

The Operation went for an year until the Official had to leave permanently back to Delhi though his wife's secret was kept and she was given a fine Farwell by the ISI ending Operation Love Birds.

Am I correct in understanding that better agencies do their stuff without making a big hoohaa about it in the media ?
 
Nothing new in it such things happens you scratch my back i scratch yours , every country ambassadorial staff in some countries leak information for favors , from USA to Israel every country it happens in different countries
Pakistani would have also eg of haqqani is one of it , many indians would have also
 
This story is fascinating but this is actually how intelligence agencies work. From my understaning this is their average day of work. There have been quite sensational ones from our side as well.

ISI is brilliant but in certain quarters lacks the finesse of 21st century. It seems to be struck in Cold War era, quite archaic in structure. In today's world term covert has whole new meaning. If your own media starts highlighting your premier agency then in some aspects the fault lies with the agency that it is leaving a huge signature. In western world their premier agencies are all powerful but quite invisible. You seldom hear anything abour them just a small news on page four of a man found dead in sleep or in accident. This is all.

TTP did not appear out of thin air. It went through many phases initially. At each phase of organisation they could have been stopped but Musharaf needed a Bogeyman to make himself appear indispensable to Americans. Eventually quite late NDS and RAW were able to harvest their assets in TTP. Latif Mehsud episode is an indicator of the timeline. ISI either under estimated the threat or RAW's ability to create assets in tribal belt.
not only TTP but the MQM was also utilized by RAW during Musharaf.
If i'm not wrong, During Musharaf Era MQM men were going to India for Military training and that was in thousand numbers.
