    Strictly speaking, a former chief of the ISI, Pakistan's secret services, is a questionable source for allegations laid on Indian authorities, given the animosity between the two nations. My gut instinct is to assume agendas and bad blood, when Pakistani (former) officials lash out at India, and when Indian officials lash out at Pakistan. Neither is likely to tell the truth of the other, and both will be prone to believe the worst of the other.

    As for who did the bombings, I dont know and can't tell. But this play from a former head of ISI can just as easily be a cover-up attempt on the part of the pakistanis (or just an opportune moment to throw some shit), as much as he is a "truth witness" to what really goes on.

    And for someone who's wary of total conspiracies, I find the trust in intelligence people to be somewhat strange. These are the people that are undoubtedly 100% paid and trained to lie about anything, and are involved in most shadowy business that goes on. In a position to know things, certainly. But also in a position to lie with gusto, and say whatever further the interests of themselves and their superiors. I'm just saying I'm very sceptical to these people and the truth of what they say, as you never know when they are playing you, or when they actually are telling the truth. Furthermore, their beliefs may be just as unfounded as "regular" people's. (For instance, I suspect that many CIA-people believed that Saddam was inches away from nuclear and had WMDs stuffed away everywhere)
