President. the Washington Post of Tuesday. October 22. 1985. carried a front page article reporting on a lengthy interview with Pakistans President Mohammed Zia ulHaq. No world leader has a more immediate interest in events in Afghanistan than does President Zia. Soviet and Afghan aircraft routinely violate Pakistani airspace and bomb refugee settlements in Pakistan. The Pakistani Government has shouldered much of the burden of the Afghan war by providing sanctuary for more than 2 million Afghans driven from their country by Soviet policies that target civilians. President Zia observes in this interview that the Soviet military effort after nearly 6 years is a failure.
