TL:DR allegations that ISI (Pakistani intelligence service) was heavily supporting extremist Taliban up to at least 2007. It is implied ISI lost control of at least part of the movement in 2007. "After years of nurturing jihadists to fight its proxy wars, Pakistan was now experiencing the repercussions. “We could not control them,” a former senior intelligence official told a colleague and me six months after the Red Mosque siege." It is possible significant portion of ISI is still compromised: "People knew that the house was strange, and one local rumor had it that it was a place where wounded Taliban from Waziristan recuperated. I was told this by Musharraf’s former civilian intelligence chief, who had himself been accused of having a hand in hiding Bin Laden in Abbottabad. He denied any involvement, but he did not absolve local intelligence agents, who would have checked the house."
