Slain Pakistan Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto had asked the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) to be ready for attacking India's nuclear facilities, when reports surfaced in 1990 that US, Israel and India were planning to strike Pakistan's nuclear establishments.
In an interview with a private television channel, former Chief of Army Staff Mirza Aslam Beg revealed that Bhutto had directed the PAF to prepare itself for attacking India.
Beg said Bhutto remained "rock solid" amid reports that US, Israel and India were planning to attack Pakistan’s nuclear sites.
"Benazir remained "rock solid" in 1990 amid reports of conspiracy against Pakistan," The Daily Times quoted Beg, as saying.
Beg also disclosed that the Saudis had given loads of money to Mahmood Haroon to ask politicians to join the Islami Jamhoori Ittehad (IJI), which was formed to destabilize Bhutto's government and ensure that she never returns to power.
