How General Zia Went Down! By Edward Jay Epstein - VANITY FAIR

How General Zia Went Down! By Edward Jay Epstein - VANITY FAIR


This article, published in June 1989, is about the air crash in 1988 which killed Gen Zia, the U.S. envoy and a number of senior officers. Since then, quite a number of publications came in the market, but this report seems to be the most authentic and incisive. The investigation is thorough and analysis is methodical.


This article about the crash is like Agatha Christie's thriller Murder on the Orient Express, in which everyone aboard the train had a motive for murder. The suspects here are, Americans, Indians, Russians, Afghans and even ''Pakistan Army.''


Please ignore the poor quality of paper as time takes its toll on papers also, human beings no exception.


Please read the thrilling story.
