What percentage of Taliban are influenced by ISI?

[Talal]

However, last Friday, the Friday Times of Pakistan published a comprehensive report on an important incident that challenges the very existence of the notion of the Durand Line. It reported a visit by a high level group of 95 Taleban including their interior minister in a convoy of heavily armed vehicles to Mohmand Agency. The report says the visit “has revived Afghanistan's claim on the area and left Islamabad shocked.” The report added TFT has learnt that the delegation, which was accorded a warm welcome by local chieftains and returned the same day whence it had come, visited a number of places in the agency, most notably the Khapakh area, some 20 kilometers west of Ghalanai. It seems that the visit had prompted the local assistant political agent Mutahar Zeb, to send urgent reports to the Home and Tribal Affairs Department. But Pakistani authorities have downplayed the significance of the visit stating that the group was there to offer condolence to a bereaved family.

The Unholy Durand Line


So much for creation of Pakistan.

thats like what ten years old ?

Nobody on this planet ends his life on purpose for worldly things.
Saying that Talibans are killing themselves for ISI or whatever organisation is stupid.
Whether there are high ranked Talibans who take orders from ISI is not proved and irrelevant since our religion teaches us to never surrender and to never accept kuffar domination.
Talibans's master is Allah SWT, not even Mollah Omar.

Nasirullah Babar used to call Taleban as "his boys"---The likes of Gen Hamid Gul and other Punjabi terrorists ideologues are all praise for "Afghan" Taleban and call them as Pakistan's strategic asset and as "our boys". This doesn't mean every Talib foot soldier out their is controlled by ISI but this does mean all Taleb leaders the top 10% are in the absolute subservience of ISI and are paving the way for Afghanistan to become a vassal state of the Ranjit Singhi empire.

We should not forget that Mullah Omar, Gulbudiin, Haqqanis, etc. are all hiding in the sanctuaries provided to them by ISI.

However, one can't sit here and claim that those bunch of rural Pashtuns from Kandahar began this movement for "fame" and "power". Had they wanted fame and power, they could've accepted Bush's offer. Mullah Omar would have been a billionaire right now, if such was his primary goal and intent.

A classic quote. Something for those particular individuals here, who are determined to prove that the Taliban movement was purely the creation of the ISI, CIA or whatever theory they're running with now to stop and contemplate.
