The Controversial Legacy of Sultan Bashiruddin Mahmood in Pakistan’s Nuclear Program

Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry

Sultan Bashiruddin Mahmood is a nuclear engineer from Pakistan who also has expertise in Islamic studies. The Federal Investigation Agency started a criminal inquiry into his unapproved trip to Afghanistan before the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Regarding his name appearing with Al-Qaeda’s list of names, those who actually had connections with it, handed over a foreigner to the United States for 25 million dollars each. The whole story is written on page 243 of General Musharraf’s book.

According to the paper published in 1987, Hoodbhoy stated that Bashiruddin Mahmood, senior director of the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission, suggested in 1980 that jinns, known for their fiery nature, could be utilized as a source of free energy. His experimentation comprised of unusual science on generating electricity from jinns may have affected his mental state. He allegedly attempted to persuade Bin Laden to acquire nuclear weapons and later retired to study the quantum mechanics of the apocalypse, the temperature of hell, and the number of angels capable of dancing on the head of a pin.

Maj. General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry is the new DG ISPR, son of nuclear scientist Sultan Bashiruddin Mahmood. He belongs to EME corps and has served as DG of the Defence Science and Technology Organisation. He is a graduate of Pakistan Military Academy, Command and Staff College Quetta, Royal Command and staff college Jordan, and National Defence University. Chaudhry is the first DG ISPR from EME corps.
