“Babar’s claim, then, raises the possibility that the Haqqanis benefited from US government aid much earlier than has previously been thought, and in the earliest phase of their militant activities.”

“The Pakistani state has repeatedly turned to the Haqqanis to negotiate on its behalf with the TTP and other Pakistani militants based in the tribal areas, negotiations that have resulted in a number of infamous peace accords that have effectively ceded sovereignty in parts of the tribal areas to the Haqqanis and their allies and have included in some cases the release of TTP leaders from Pakistani prisons. According to one source, Iran even turned to the Haqqani network when one of its diplomats was kidnapped in Peshawar, and the Haqqanis allegedly secured the release of the hostage in return for the release of a number of prominent al-Qa’ida members from Iranian custody.”

“While no doubt motivated by its conviction that Kashmir rightfully belonged with Pakistan, Arnold Fletcher notes that, in part, the October 1947 operation “was intended at once to arouse Moslem enthusiasm, block Pushtoon separatism, bring discredit to the Khudai Khidmatgaran, and hinder action by Afghanistan.”
