Alleging that Pakistan has for decades leveraged radical terroristgroups to carry out attacks in India and Afghanistan, a U.S.lawmaker has introduced a bill that proposes to deduct $50 millionfrom the U.S. aid to Islamabad every time an American is killed"as a result of actions of ISI." Congressman Dana Rohrabacher has introduced the "PakistanTerrorism Accountability Act of 2012" in Congress. The legislation would require the Department of Defence to list allAmericans killed by terrorist groups operating with impunity insidePakistan and Afghanistan and supported by elements of the Pakistanigovernment. For each person killed, $50 million would be subtracted from U.S.foreign assistance to Pakistan, a requested $2.2 billion, and givento the victim's family. Mr. Rohrabacher is Chairman of theHouse Foreign Affairs Oversight and Investigations Subcommittee. "For too long America has funded the Pakistani government,giving it free money, while elements of the ISI andPakistan's military operate radical Islamic groups that areactively murdering Americans. Americans will not acceptthis," Mr. Rohrabacher said. "Pakistan has for decades leveraged radical terrorist groupsto carry out attacks in India and Afghanistan," he said. "Pakistan helped to create the Taliban and Pakistan'sintelligence service hid Osama bin Laden from the U.S. for years.Today, one of the most dangerous and sophisticated groups killingAmerican troops in Afghanistan is the Haqqani Network, which isclosely operated by the Pakistani government," Mr.Rohrabacher alleged. Former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral Mike Mullen,has said the ISI directed the Haqqani Network to plan and conduct"the assault on our embassy [in September 2011]... We alsohave credible evidence that they were behind the June 28 attack atthe Inter—Continental Hotel in Kabul." Mr. Mullen has also said "the Haqqani network acts as averitable arm of Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligenceagency," said the statement issued by his office. According to the legislation Pakistan, through Inter-ServicesIntelligence (ISI), maintains control and influence in Afghanistanthrough militant Islamic networks, such as the Haqqani Network, inorder to secure its strategic position and expand its sphere ofinfluence, not only in Afghanistan, but also in Kashmir and againstIndia.
