Mohammed Yousaf (born 1937)[1] was a Brigadier General in the Pakistani Intelligence Service. He served as the head of their Afghan operations from 1983 to 1987.[2][3][4] This time period corresponded to the massive increase in the involvement in the Soviet–Afghan War of both the CIA and Saudi Intelligence agency, as well as private Islamic charities and other entities and individuals including Osama Bin Laden. In 1992 he co-authored Afghanistan: The Bear Trap: The Defeat of a Superpower (isbn 978-0971170926) with Mark Adkin.
