Is the Intelligence Bureau related to (or the same as) ISI?

From WiKi...

The existence of IB predates the creation of Pakistan, as it was a part of the pre-war Intelligence Bureau of British India, and the present day IB was created from elements given to Pakistan upon independence. It was initially the main Pakistani Agency, with responsibility for strategic and foreign intelligence, as well as counter-espionage and domestic affairs. Its performance in the 1948 war was however considered less than exemplary[1] because the pre-independence Bureau was concerned with internal security matters, and was not set up for such its new remit. As a result after the war a new agency, the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), was created, and it took over the strategic and foreign intelligence roles.

No. The IB is for internal security and counterintelligence, while ISI is for gathering intelligence outside Pakistan, iow, IB = FBI, ISI = CIA.
