Munir Ahmad in Islamabad A team of Pakistani intelligence officers will leave soon for Cuba to help US authorities interrogate prisoners held at the American naval base at Guantanamo Bay, government officials said yesterday. The officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the Pakistanis would focus on those Taliban and al-Qaida prisoners who might have had access to the leadership of Osama bin Laden's terrorist network. The Pakistani government has not officially confirmed the report. Officials said the team would include members of the Pakistani spy agency the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), the crime investigation department and the interior ministry. The Pakistanis would bring special expertise to the interrogation process, not only because of their knowledge of Pashtu, the language spoken by most Taliban, but also because of their detailed knowledge of Afghanistan and the Taliban organisation.
