Washington, Jun 21 (PTI) Amid reports of leak of US intelligence information about bomb-making factories in Pakistan's tribal areas, a top American Senator has claimed that elements in ISI were tipping off terrorist outfits.
"I think it either comes right out of the ISI or it comes from the ISI having to warn or alert a tribal leader that the military is moving into that area for a mission, and the tribal leader alerts the IED manufacturer and they scatter," Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein told MSNBC.
Feinstein, who chairs Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, was responding to questions on the reported leak of US intelligence information given to Pakistan about four bomb-making factories in the tribal areas of the country.
By the time security forces reached the locations, the bomb- making factories had been closed and militants were absent.
