Islamabad, Jan. 4 : The recent high-profile terrorist attacks in Pakistan and India have drawn attention to the need for reform of the intelligence services.

The large number of Intelligence agencies in India and Pakistan seems to be inefficient with their tendencies to work against each other rather than as a team, the Dawn noted.

Another reason is the large size of under funded agencies working with poorly trained individuals. Often, the permanent employees of the intelligence agencies are neglected, while the part-timers from the police, civil service, and military, head the proceedings.

Continuous political interference in personnel management is also one of the major drawbacks of these intelligence agencies.
