I don't have any information. I was refering to the early incursions, such as those in 1985 (not the later ones against Karimov in 1999). I thought that some in ISI (Mohammed Youssaf, perhaps) facilitated the Afghan incursions into Uzbekistan at that time. Since Hekmatyar was the ISI's guy I did just assume that he was the one, although I suppose it didnt have to be any of the Peshawar 7 who led those operations.
