Inside Story about Musharraf-Mahmood Tussle
Hassan Abbas: September 24, 2006

General Pervez Musharraf’s memoir In the Line of Fire is expected to generate a lot of debate and discussion in the days to come. Except some western journalists and Musharraf’s close friends (three ghost writers) hardly anyone has had a chance yet to read the book from cover to cover. The excerpts of the book leaked through Indian media and General Musharraf’s statements to some American media outlets however have already created some controversies. In the United States, controversy is considered a positive thing, so the book is bound to become a bestseller here, but in Pakistan probably the opposite is true.

This article is not a review of the book (as I haven’t got hold of a copy yet), but it endeavors to throw some light on the widely reported Musharraf comment about the Armitage threat conveyed through Lieutenant General Mahmood Ahmed, the then Director General of the ISI.

Washington and Islamabad

In 1971 war breaks out between India and Pakistan. The India-supported nationalists of East Pakistan demand a separate homeland. A few months and a bloody war later they succeed as Pakistan loses its eastern wing – present day Bangladesh. Away from all this chaos a young man in his late 30s listens to the news anxiously in Germany with moist eyes and an aching heart. 'I have to go back my friend, the country needs me'.

The tall man, our father's friend, sitting beside him listens while looking at his friend astonishingly – a five and a half feet tall, dark, slender man wearing a black tailored suit and a black tie with white flamingos embroidered on it. "But Hussein you're burning your boats." Hussein listens with closed eyes and then suddenly opens them wide, "the destiny of your life doesn't knock twice – I must leave…
