The former U.S. Ambassador to India, John Dean, has accused Israel of being behind the assassination of Pakistan President General Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq in 1988.

Dean made the allegation in an article in the World Policy Journal. He said he believed the attack was carried out by Mossad, Israel's intelligence service.

It happened on August 17 1988. Pak One, Pakistan's equivalent of Air Force One, took off from a military air base outside of Bahawalpur in the late afternoon. On board was Pakistan's president, joint chief of staffs, and most of the Pakistan army's top generals, the U.S. Ambassador to pakistan Arnie Raphael and General Herbert M. Wassom, the chief U.S. military official in Pakistan, and a four-man crew. Within minutes the plane crashed and all 30 on board were killed.
