The death of an employee of the German embassy in Pakistan has led to more speculation in the German media than among Pakistani observers. In countries like Pakistan or Iran, people are hardly surprised by the ‘sudden’ death of a foreign diplomat. If the deceased was indeed an employee of the Bundesnachrichtendienst (BND), even a cursory analysis of his social network reveals serious security deficiencies at the BND. The incident also raises various questions: Can the Pakistani secret service Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) take advantage of this? Does the BND still have any insight into security policy developments in Pakistan? One of the interesting institutions in Pakistan is the Strategic Plans Division Force (SPD Force), which is responsible for nuclear weapons and missiles. Here we show the pictures of more than thirty of its selected employees who were recently honoured for their important work.
