'The Nukes, The Jihad, The Hawala And Crystal Meth' review: An in-depth analysis of security affairs in Pakistan, Afghanistan
New Indian ExpressLqbal Malhotra is undoubtedly an accomplished author who has the knack of going into details and connecting the dots in the complex region of our Western neighbourhood. This book covers the period from the arrest of Dr AQ Khan in January 2004 till the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan in August 2021, and the manner in which Pakistan deceived one of its most important patrons—the US—and strategically maneuvered to ensure the US withdrawal from Afghanistan. In his fascinating account of a complex region, Iqbal has brought to light various issues that have remained unconnected in the public domain: how there was a divide within the US administration and manner in which they turned a blind eye to Pakistan brazenly supporting the return of Taliban. Iqbal links the terrorist attack in Kabul on the Indian Embassy on July 7, 2008 to the meeting Prime Minister Manmohan Singh held in Japan with President Bush the same day, and Musharraf’s concern about the progress on the Indo-US nuclear deal. But, Iqbal points out that the US remained relentlessly secretive about David Headley, a terrorist scout and Pakistani spy convicted in January 2013 for his involvement in the terror attack.
