The Terrorist Prince Is a gripping Insider's account of the Pakistani resistance organization Al-Zulflkar (In Urdu, 'The Sword'), set up In 1979 atter the coup by General Zla-ul-Haq and the execution of Prime Minister Zulflkar All Bhutto. Raja Anwar, the author, was an adviser to Prime Minister Bhutto and one of the organizers of the campaign to save his life after his conviction on a trumped-up murder charge. Named as a traitor by Zia, and liable to execution If arrested, Anwar sought asylum In Germany.

Raja Anwar recounts the transformation of Al-Zulflkar Into a terrorist group, run by Murtaza Bhutto as his own exclusive fiefdom. In 1981, the organization hijacked a Pakistani airliner en route to Kabul. Twice It came close to assassinating Zia.
