Pakistani Intelligence Battles Internal Extremism

Editorial, The New York Times | October 2, 2008

Gen Ahmed Shuja, who must work to clean up the intelligence service, root out corrupt officials, and cut ties to extremists that threaten Pakistan's own fragile democracy. ++ American officials claim that certain members of Pakistan's intelligence service played a role in the bombing of the Indian Embassy in Kabul.
