My cousin was an international currier between U.S. Embassies in the early to mid-60’s. He said the Paki’s always gave him the most trouble, they were real jerks. He told me this 25 years ago.
The fact that this country became a nuclear-weapon power is a huge problem. Their scientist, aq khan or whatever, apparently shared data all over the world. A religiously-aggressive government could take over. It is such a bad thing to have on the table.
We can assume then your cousin had several of these?
