Joint Kabul intelligence hub soon

Published January 18, 2007

KABUL, Jan 17: The first joint Afghan, Pakistan and Nato-led force intelligence centre is due to open in Kabul this month in a ‘significant step’ for efforts to defeat the Taliban remnants, an official said on Wednesday.

Six officers from the Pakistan military are due here this week to staff the centre, with six each from the Afghan army and Nato’s International Security Assistance Force, an Isaf spokesman said.

The joint intelligence and operation centre would see “officers from Afghanistan, Pakistan and ISAF sitting together here in Kabul, able to talk on a minute-by-minute basis”, Brigadier Richard Nugee said. It was expected to be set up in 10 days.—AFP
