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.
