New Delhi: Former ISI Chief Asad Durrani has been stopped from leaving Pakistan and added to a no flying list. Retired Lieutenant General Asad Durrani collaborated with an Indian counterpart in a book that touches on Pakistan’s role in Afghanistan and Kashmir.
Asad Durrani was summoned to the Pakistani military headquarters yesterday and accused of violating the institution’s code of conduct over comments he made in the book. Asad Durrani co-wrote “The Spy Chronicles: RAW, ISI and the Illusion of Peace” with AS Dulat, who headed India’s intelligence agency Research and Analysis Wing (RAW).
Asad Durrani’s book is based on a series of discussions between the two former spy chiefs on subjects including tense relations with India and Pakistan’s interference in Kashmir and Afghanistan. Speaking to Media Durrani said he had reason to believe his country’s army cooperated with the US in the operation to kill Osama bin Laden in his hideout in Pakistan’s Abbottabad cantonment.
“The more important thing is that the investigative report I have seen – two from the west, two from Pakistan, they all come to more or less the same conclusion that at some stage the ISI cooperated, the army cooperated,” added Asad Durrani.
Asad Durrani was the head of Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) from 1990 to 1992.
