After struggling for days for some concrete information on the subject, here is the summary of what all I could
make a reconnaissance of during the research.
The Research and Analysis Wing (RAW), India's external intelligence
agency launched the ambitious '
Operation Kahuta' in 1977 to infiltrate into Pakistan's
atomic energy installations. Operation Kahuta is regarded by many as one of the most daring operations ever conducted by RAW. The only reason it failed was due to a grave blunder by an Indian Prime Minister.
Kahuta
is the site of the Khan Research Laboratories (KRL), Pakistan’s main
nuclear weapons laboratory as well as an emerging center for long-range
missile development. The primary Pakistani fissile-material production facility is located at
Kahuta, employing gas centrifuge enrichment technology to produce
Highly Enriched Uranium (necessary for nuclear weapons). RAW first confirmed Pakistan’s nuclear programs by analyzing the hair
samples of scientists taken from the floor of barber shops near KRL;
which showed that Pakistan had developed the ability to enrich uranium
to weapons-grade quality.
RAW agents knew of Kahuta Research Laboratories from at least early
1978, when the then Indian Prime Minister, Morarji Desai stopped RAW's
operations on Pakistan’s covert nuclear weapons program. In an indiscreet moment in a telephone conversation one day, Morarji
Desai informed the then Pakistan President, Zia-ul-Haq, that India was
aware of Pakistan’s nuclear weapons program.
According to later reports, acting on this “tip-off”, Pakistani
intelligence eliminated RAW’s agents in Kahuta, leaving India in the
dark about Pakistan’s nuclear weapons program from then onwards.
RAW and Mossad
It was 1950s when India gave permission to
Israel to make a Consulate in Mumbai. There was no diplomatic
Relationship because India supported Palestinian Cause.
R.N Kao , legendary spy master who was
founder of RAW, India’s Foreign Intelligence was given the responsibility
of developing silent diplomacy with Mossad. As a recent novel revealed
that Special Arms from Tel Aviv were supplied to Mukti Bahani and Israel
indeed helped India in 1971 war.
During 1971 ,Pakistan’s Foreign Minister
visited North Korea which was threat to India. Israel had a fear that
Pakistani Army officers are training Libyans and Iranians in handling
Korean and Chinese Weapons.
Now, a mistake done in India is harmful to
our agents anywhere in the world . Mistake happened when Morarji Desai
then PM in 1977 called Zia Ul Haq,Pakistani Military Dictator and told
him “General , i know what you are upto in Kahuta. RAW has given me all
the details . And Pakistan wanted to keep Kahuta ,their Nuclear
Capability a secret. In hurry, Zia Ul Haq checked all his network and
our RAW agents lost their lives.
In 1967, at Nepal Gen Moshe Dayan, the
Warrior of Israel in Israeli-Arab war visited Nepal and he was expected
to meet the Indian Representatives. Islamabad feared this meeting was some joint
Operation by RAW and Mossad to destroy their Kahuta dream. :)
Israel bombed the Iraq’s Nuclear Reactor in
1981 , Islamabad too had same worries. hence, in 1981 ISI planted
surface to air missilies in Kahuta , they thought that Israel and India
will strike anytime soon.
In early 1990s , Israeli students starting
visiting Kashmir, ISI feared that they were from Israeli Defence Forces
who came to counter terrorists in Kashmir. Pakistan in desperation , did
a terrorist attack and one Israeli was killed and one was kidnapped
which was saved later. The killing of Israeli by terrorists shook
Israel and Jews living in USA.
This led to embassy level relations between
India and Israel in 1992 . Everyone was startled when an Israeli Ambassador in an interview in 2008 said that Israel helped India in
turning around the situation in Kargil War. Israel helped Indian Army
by providing the much needed imagery of Pakistani army positions.
