According to The Senate Foreign Relations Committee (July 2004 Hearings), Pakistan's
Military intelligence has played a key role in developing the Islamic terror network
with financial assistance provided by Saudi Arabia. (Committee on Senate Foreign
Relations, Hearings, July 14, 2004). More recently, The Nixon Center (July 2005)
has confirmed that the ISI still supports the main Kashmiri Islamic groups including
Lashkar-e-Tiaba and Jaish-e-Muhammad. Recent Indian Press reports provide concrete evidence and details regarding
the ISI's links to Lashkar e Taiba, which is suspected of having played a key
role in the foiled UK terror plot:. Reports suggest that LeT operational commander
had meetings with ISI's top brass: "The interrogation of two Laskhar- e-Taiba militants arrested here last
week [Delhi] has brought to light "direct links" between Pakistani
intelligence agency ISI and the terror outfit, strengthening India's case
that Islamabad was actively supporting terrorist activities in the country. One of the arrested militants Abu Anaz has revealed that he was the body
guard of Lashkar second-in-command Zaki-ur- Rehman and given detailed description
about functioning of the terror outfit and the monthly meetings that take
place between Pakistan Army officials and LeT leaders. "Zakir-ur-Rehman and some others of LeT used to meet Pakistani Army's
Major Wajahat, Brigadier Riaz and Brigadier Haji every month in Muzaffarabad,

Cell) Karnal Singh said here. Abu, a Pakistani national, has told police that Major Wajahad used to visit
the Laskhar top leader at the outfit's sprawling 50 acre office in Shiwai

terror activities in India and this brings out the linkages among terror groups,
