but according to villagers who saw his plane crashing plane did not explode until it hit ground.
they also said that engines were on but plane was going up down until it crashed.
Common belief is tht CIA was involved....................
Ninerich since you claim you are curious about this event why don't you enlighten us ? Why don't you give us a hint as to where to start looking ?
The best hint I can think of is the GHQ in Rawalpindi and the ISI directorate in Islamabad. The other is the FBI offices in Washington.
I do not say they killed Zia, but they are likely to know who did it. My guess is that the leads are going to former Soviet Union and KGB - they are experts in assassinations and they had very good reasons to kill Zia. The Americans did not reveal it because it was part of the clandestine war between the two superpowers during the cold war
If that is the case then how come it was not exposed more than 20 years after the USSR collapsed?
Anyway, it seems that it was not an internal job in the Army or ISI in the light of the shock the top brass was immediately after the assassination. In addition, as far as I can say the relationship among the generals never deteriorate this low that they would kill each other - it is against the Army's organisational culture.
I do not believe it was the Americans either - Zia was their ally in Afghanistan, and only on very rare occasions the Americans were involved in killing foreign leaders, all of them adversaries of the US. But most importantly - The US will not kill its own ambassador and defence attache.
then pl answer me why was Gen. A/Beg the only 'general' who 'excused' himself from NOT boarding the ill-fated C-130 whereas the CoAS, US Ambassador and 24 senior ranks all climbed abord the a/c?

nope not a leader he was dictator ,criminal , violator of constitution ....... ***** died very well.Zia was your leader, the Army chief and President. Even if you did not agree with his policy how can you be happy for his killing?
