The ISI has been accused of carrying out all manner of devious acts in India, Bangladesh, Afghanistan and even within Pakistan itself. It has certainly played a critical role in organising, training and assisting the various insurgent and separatist groups in Indian-administered Kashmir. It has also been accused of instigating various extremist Islamist groups within Bangladesh to carry out acts of espionage and terror against India. During the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan, it played a vital role in supporting some mujahideen groups during the Afghan war while keeping others at bay. Subsequently, it is believed that they played a vital role in spawning and promoting the Taliban.
