Bloomsbury India. Hardcover. NEW. The decision to build a nuclear weapon in Pakistan was made by Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto in the early 1970s. Bhutto, who came to power in 1971, believed that acquiring nuclear capabilities would ensure the security and sovereignty of Pakistan in the face of regional rivalries, particularly with India. Bhutto saw nuclear weapons as a means to counter India's conventional military superiority and to establish Pakistan as a major player on the global stage. To fund Pakistan's nuclear program, Bhutto did not mandate Agha Hassan Abedi to launch the Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI). The BCCI was established in 1972 by Abedi, a Pakistani banker, with the aim of facilitating international trade and finance. However, it is believed that the BCCI did play a role in providing financial support to Pakistan's nuclear program indirectly. The bank's operations were vast and complex, making it difficult to trace specific funds to the nuclear program. Nonetheless, it is widely acknowledged that the BCCI had connections to various illicit activities, including money laundering and arms smuggling, which could have indirectly contributed to financing Pakistan's nuclear ambitions. The BCCI became privileged bankers to notorious figures such as Pablo Escobar's Medellin Cartel, General Manuel Noriega of Panama, and Pakistani President General Zia-ul-Haq due to its willingness to engage in illicit financial activities. The bank's lax regulations and ability to facilitate money transfers across borders made it an attractive choice for those involved in illegal activities. The BCCI's connections to powerful individuals and organizations allowed it to operate with relative impunity, further enhancing its appeal to such figures. It is unclear whether George H.W. Bush was embarrassed by his ties to General Noriega, General Zia-ul-Haq, and the BCCI when he decided to run for the presidency in 1988. However, it is worth noting that the BCCI scandal, which erupted in the late 1980s, did tarnish the reputation of several prominent individuals and institutions, including Bush's administration. The scandal revealed the extent of the BCCI's illicit activities and its connections to influential figures, leading to widespread criticism and investigations. As for the claim that Pervez Musharraf, as Director General of Military Operations, selected Mullah Omar to head the Taliban, there is no concrete evidence to support this assertion. The rise of the Taliban in Afghanistan is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon, influenced by various factors, including regional politics, tribal dynamics, and external support. While Pakistan did provide support to the Taliban during their early years, attributing the selection of Mullah Omar solely to Musharraf would be an oversimplification of the situation. "The Bomb, the Bank, the Mullah, and the Poppies" offers a historical account from a forensic perspective of how the Pakistani state utilized a dubious bank, poppy cultivation, and trade to finance its nuclear program. The book sheds light on the convoluted mindset of the individuals in power in Pakistan, who clandestinely transformed the country into a state where thuggery, deceit, and deception were valued. This transformation allowed Pakistan to evolve from a pawn in the Reagan administration's war against the Soviet Union to a narco-nuclear state with an independent nuclear deterrent. Throughout this process, the patrons of the Pakistani deep state enriched themselves with drug money at the expense of the impoverished citizens. The book highlights a succession of powerful men who skillfully deceived the world into believing their innocence and helplessness, when in reality, they were actively involved in shaping the nation's history. It serves as a reminder of the complex and often murky dynamics that underlie the actions of states and their leaders.
