Why accuse the ISI of links with the Haqqani network, asked Zamir Akram, Pakistan's permanent representative to the UN in Geneva, when the US sought its help in setting up a meeting with them.

"You knew that (about ISI's links) because you asked us to help meet with the Haqqanis," Akram said speaking on US-Pakistan relations at the Stimson Center, a think tank.
