The boast of the ISI operatives need, indeed, to be taken ver,very seriously especially by countries like India, who happen to be its immediate targets singled out for destabilization. We, in India, know it to be an extremely efficent and meticulous, if ruthless and unscrupulous, organisation , and is unique of its kind in the Asian region. One need not recall the ' fire ' that broke out in its HQs in Rawalpindi, on the eve of the U.S.A's war on terror. Having said that, I may also remind Mr.Muhammad, of the nasty things that some of their own generals have been saying about the land of the pure. Commenting on the U.S.-Pakistan relations, one general is reported to have said : " Pakistan is just a condom which the Americans need to enter Afghanistan."

This, in my view, should be a sobering thought to the likes of Hamid Gul and others like him. They would do well to remember that the days when Afghanistan could be thought to provide "strategic depth" to them in a future war against India, are gone for ever, never to return.
