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. The ISI has been linked to terrorist attacks within India. Although Pakistan denies any wrongdoing, connections are becoming to surface where Pakistan is being implicated in cruel acts of terrorsm in India.
