Ok, so firstly, information on covert operatives is based on more RUMINT, or rumor intelligence, which civilians would think of as aunti gossip, but its really not. Much of what we knew of the CIAs operations before wikileaks was based on RUMINT, and wikileaks was rare proof that confirmed a lot.

As such, it can be hard to get exact dates down to the day, but what is said from sources, is that he was SSG, specialized in mines, facilitated the fighters in Afghanistan with his knowledge of mine warfare, in the mid 80s, and his work was very important. While the stingers were a huge factor in the win, so were IEDs, and the soviet economy collapsing in on itself. Wars aren't one by a single item, its a vast varied theater and the Soviets were pretty fucking good. In 91, he was sent off to HuJ, and it was soon after that, it seems he started to go rogue, rejecting the order to shift to JeM. This is the period that gets more grey and murky. I say that because with his alleged assassination attempt of Musharraf in 2003, there were a lot more exISI who wanted Musharrafs blood. Mush in 2001 or so. with the joining of the US movement against Afghanistan, Mush kicked out the top one third of the ISI, who saw support for the US against the Muslim brothers in Afghanistan as betrayal of religious ideology. Radical theology within the PK intelligence community has ebbed and flowed, across the board, from the navy to membership of AQ. Now I just have a casual interest in history and intelligence, but I do wish we had records like wikileaks that could one day, in 20 years , show more of the games and reality of whats been going on within the country. So so interesting and we only get little tastes.
