The General Directorate for Inter-Services Intelligence (بین الخدماتی
مخابرات) (more commonly known as just the Inter-Services Intelligence or simply
by its initials ISI) is the premier military-operated intelligence service of
Pakistan, operationally responsible for providing critical national security and
intelligence assessment to the Government. The ISI is the largest of the three
intelligence services of Pakistan, the others being the Intelligence Bureau (IB)
(dependent of the Ministry of Interior (official website:
https://www.interior.gov.pk/) and
Military Intelligence (MI) (dependent of the Army (official website:
https://www.pakistanarmy.gov.pk/).
It was established in 1948 as part of IB, but then evolved to become an
independent agency in 1950."
