The Pakistan army still appears to be helping the Taliban in Afghanistan, according to a report.
American intelligence officials possess satellite photos that "purportedly" show Pakistani army trucks picking up Taliban troops fleeing back across the border after a failed attack.
After the US confronted Pakistani officials with the photographs, signs of visible Pakistani aid to the rebels ceased, Time magazine said.
It quoted Afghan and American officials as saying that the US has also provided Pakistan with specific locations of two dozen suspected Taliban hideouts in the tribal badlands.
Afghan security officials, Time said, complain that their Pakistani counterparts continue to tolerate -- and even encourage -- militancy by the Taliban.
At the highest levels, Pakistan's establishment remains "nostalgic" for the Taliban, says a Western diplomat.
