Appointment as National Security Advisor and Fallout

Mahmud Durrani, a long retired Pakistani Major General, was taken away at 84 last week by the heart condition he had dealt with for more than four decades.  As Pakistan’s NSA, barely five weeks after 26/11, he emphatically told the media that Kasab was indeed a Pakistani and it made no sense to hide that truth. Durrani was made to resign immediately.
