Editing Agha Hasan Abedi (section)

===Meetings with CIA Director William Casey===
Investigative sources, including a report by Peter Dale Scott, claim that Abedi met with CIA Director [[William Casey]] multiple times between 1982 and 1985. These meetings, often arranged in secret, reportedly covered topics like the Afghan war, Iran-Contra arms trades, and Pakistani politics. Some sources suggest Abedi facilitated Casey’s interactions with Pakistani General Zia-ul-Haq and Saudi intelligence figures like Kamal Adham, a BCCI shareholder. These interactions imply Abedi was a key figure in enabling off-the-books operations, though it’s unclear if he was acting as a witting CIA asset or a strategic partner leveraging BCCI’s network.
