“Look, we’re at war and would like to get aid from anyone to fight against the U.S. and its allies who invaded our homeland,” Sirajuddin Haqqani, a senior leader of the Haqqani network, told The Daily Beast on Monday, denying any existing links with Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence, known by its acronym ISI…

While Haqqani said the leaked reports were useful to him, he also said he wished they had been leaked earlier because they provided evidence of American brutality in Afghanistan.

“This is just 30 percent of the atrocities which the U.S. and NATO forces have done to the Afghan people during their nine years of occupation,” he said. “Some people who were strong supporters [of the U.S.] were disappointed by their cruelties… They never admit their mistakes or regret the loss of innocent lives in bombings.” Such bombings, he said, brought civilians “into Taliban camps.”
