According to a secret Nato report the Taliban in Afghanistan are receiving direct aid from Pakistani security services. This report, attained through thousands of interrogations, states that the Taliban gets a great deal of support from the Afghan people. The report is derived from 27,000 interrogations with 4,000 captured Taliban and al-Qaeda members. This in turn leads some to believe that Pakistan is aware of the locations of several Taliban leaders. Nevertheless, Pakistan continues to deny any associations it may have with the extremist group. Moreover, even though Nato has attempted to secure the nation with Afghan forces, the report indicates that there is a certain degree of collaboration between the Afghan police and the insurgents. In its conclusion, the document exemplifies the fact that in the past year the levels of interest for joining the Taliban cause have greatly increased.
