Documents uncovered by Rahmatullah Nabil, former chief of Afghan Spy Agency—the National Directorate of Security (NDS) – shows that the money provided by the U.S government to the Pakistani military for fighting terrorism is in fact spent by Pakistan's Inter-service Intelligence (ISI) for promoting and supporting terrorism.
The documents also show that Pakistan strikes only those insurgents who threatens its interests.
Nabil called on President Ashraf Ghani to provide clear definitions of Afghanistan's friends and enemies so that the Afghan security and defense forces may direct their war in line in line with the correct discriptions.

Nabil, by disclosing the intelligence documents, claims that Pakistan's ISI systematically supports the terrorist groups.
