General Corella admitted that ‘as a result of close intelligence cooperation with Pakistan, dozens of ISIS Khorasan terrorists have been killed and arrested.’ These arrests include at least five of the organization’s most wanted leaders.
He said that Pakistani authorities have achieved several important successes for the United States through intelligence sharing, including the arrest and extradition of the mastermind of the Abbeygate bombing, Jafar.
The head of CENTCOM said that immediately after this arrest, the Chief of Army Staff Field Marshal Asim Munir personally contacted and informed.
General Korella said that Pakistan is continuing operations against ISIS Khorasan through limited but effective intelligence sharing.

General Korella said that it seems that ISIS Khorasan has been weakened and its activities have decreased, the main reason for this is the heavy losses it has suffered in recent months, we will have to maintain relations with Pakistan and India.
The head of Central Command said that I do not think this is such a blunt decision that if it is related to India, it cannot be related to Pakistan.
