The Directorate for Inter-Services Intelligence (also Inter-Services Intelligence or I.S.I.) is the principal intelligence body of the nation of Pakistan. The ISI provided most of the operational and organizational leadership during the U.S.-funded insurgency in Afghanistan against the USSR. The ISI is accused of supporting rebels in the separatist Kashmir region, but Pakistan maintains that the ethnic instability in India is playing out in Kashmir by indigenous freedom fighters.
ISI has been responsible for gathering information in and around Pakistan. It is also reponsible for anti-terrorist operations, mainly difffusing situations arising from Afghanistan and India.
Apart from gathering information, the ISI is also responsible for training spies, security of the Pakistan nuclear program and maintaining good relations with People's Republic of China and a good image of Pakistan throughout the world. The ISI is also responsible for the security of top Pakistan army generals.
