Pakistan: Victim or exporter of terrorism?

General Asad Durrani, the former head of the ISI, Pakistan's notorious spy agency, on its role in the "War on Terror".

"They deluded themselves in believing that they were allies. Actually, they were not," says former Director-General of the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) Lt. General Asad Durrani, commenting on Pakistan's rocky relationship with the United States since they allied in the "War on Terror".
The least that I expect from an audience like this…is to give the Taliban and their supporters in Pakistan a big applause
General Asad Durrani
In this episode of Head to Head, Mehdi Hasan challenges General Durrani on whether Pakistan is fighting or fuelling international terrorism.
We explore the nation's role as a US ally in the "War on Terror", and investigate claims that it has been backing the Afghan Taliban, whilst its offshoot, the Pakistani Taliban, wages a brutal insurgency at home.
Is Pakistan a rogue state? Or is it stuck between a rock and a hard place? And what role should the military play in a democratic Pakistan?

In this episode of Head to Head , Mehdi Hasan challenges Hina Rabbani Khar, former foreign minister of Pakistan, on whether the army is in control of the country, and if Pakistan has been supporting the Taliban.


Last year's Peshawar school attack reinvigorated the military campaign against the Pakistani Taliban, while civilian oversight was curtailed.
We explore Pakistan's ambiguous stance towards the Afghan Taliban and the so-called " war on terror " and whether the alleged links between the ISI, Pakistan's spy agency, and armed groups have brought the violence home.  
With the help of a panel of experts, we ask: did Pakistan support the Afghan Taliban and protect Osama bin Laden? Who calls the shots in Pakistan: the civilian authorities or the army? Are democracy, human rights and civil liberties safe in the fight against the Pakistani Taliban? And what should be done to bring peace to Kashmir?
