| A United States backed paramilitary force in Pakistan’s lawless border area may be aiding Taliban fighters, according to American officials who say the support may cause Congress to freeze some security funds for Islamabad. “If that’s our intelligence assessment, then there’s a real question as to whether or not we should be putting money into strengthening the Frontier Corps on the Pakistan side because if anything there’s some evidence that the Pakistan army is providing support to the Taliban,” Levin told reporters after visiting Afghanistan and Pakistan this week. |
