'CIA worked with Pak to create Taliban'

India Abroad News Service, March 6, 2001

London March 06, 2001 11:40 Hrs (IST) THE CENTRAL Intelligence Agency 
(CIA) worked in tandem with Pakistan to create the "monster" that is 
today Afghanistan's ruling Taliban, a leading US expert on South Asia 
said here.

"I warned them that we were creating a monster," Selig Harrison from the 
Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars said at the conference 
here last week on "Terrorism and Regional Security: Managing the 
Challenges in Asia."

Harrison said: "The CIA made a historic mistake in encouraging Islamic 
groups from all over the world to come to Afghanistan." The US provided 
$3 billion for building up these Islamic groups, and it accepted 
Pakistan's demand that they should decide how this money should be 
spent, Harrison said.

Harrison, who spoke before the Taliban assault on the Buddha statues was 
launched, told the gathering of security experts that he had meetings 
with CIA leaders at the time when Islamic forces were being strengthened 
in Afghanistan. "They told me these people were fanatical, and the more 
fierce they were the more fiercely they would fight the Soviets," he 
said. "I warned them that we were creating a monster."

Harrison, who has written five books on Asian affairs and US relations 
with Asia, has had extensive contact with the CIA and political leaders 
in South Asia. Harrison was a senior associate of the Carnegie Endowment 
for International Peace between 1974 and 1996.

Harrison who is now senior fellow with The Century Foundation recalled a 
conversation he had with the late Gen Zia-ul Haq of Pakistan. "Gen Zia 
spoke to me about expanding Pakistan's sphere of influence to control 
Afghanistan, then Uzbekistan and Tajikstan and then Iran and Turkey," 
Harrison said. That design continues, he said. Gen. Mohammed Aziz who 
was involved in that Zia plan has been elevated now to a key position by 
Chief Executive, Gen. Pervez Musharraf, Harrison said.

The old associations between the intelligence agencies continue, 
Harrison said. "The CIA still has close links with the ISI (Pakistan's 
Inter-Services Intelligence)."

Today that money and those weapons have helped build up the Taliban, 
Harrison said. "The Taliban are not just recruits from 'madrassas' 
(Muslim theological schools) but are on the payroll of the ISI (Inter 
Services Intelligence, the intelligence wing of the Pakistani 
government)." The Taliban are now "making a living out of terrorism."

Harrison said the UN Security Council resolution number 1333 calls for 
an embargo on arms to the Taliban. "But it is a resolution without teeth 
because it does not provide sanctions for non-compliance," he said. "The 
US is not backing the Russians who want to give more teeth to the 
resolution."

Now it is Pakistan that "holds the key to the future of Afghanistan," 
Harrison said. The creation of the Taliban was central to Pakistan's 
"pan-Islamic vision," Harrison said.

It came after "the CIA made the historic mistake of encouraging Islamic 
groups from all over the world to come to Afghanistan," he said. The 
creation of the Taliban had been "actively encouraged by the ISI and the 
CIA," he said. "Pakistan has been building up Afghan collaborators who 
will sustain Pakistan," he said.
