Musharraf defends his spy service

(snip)
In a BBC TV interview, Gen Musharraf said his intelligence services were doing an "excellent job" in tracking down and apprehending militants.

The claims are in a document written by a UK intelligence official, which says Pakistan is on the edge of chaos.

The paper also said that the Iraq war had helped extremists recruit people.

On Afghanistan, the paper said the UK went in "with its eyes closed", and revealed that a secret deal to extricate UK troops from Iraq so they could focus on Afghanistan failed when British military leaders were overruled.
