Pakistan was forced to import thousands of donkeys and mules at exorbitant rates from as far as Brazil and Egypt in 1985 for the Mujahideen war against USSR in Afghanistan.

“It would take months to establish the mule-supply lines. One early shipment of sorry creatures purchased in Brazil arrived in Pakistan with all the animals dead. Eventually the mujahideen were moving their supplies on the backs of Tennessee mules, and the halls of Langley were soon filled with rumors (later confirmed by the Agency’s spies) that the freedom fighters were copulating with these animals,” the book says.

“You have to realize that donkeys and mules are the lowest form of life in Egypt,” explains Avrakotos. “Even a camel has greater status. But the Egyptians provided each donkey and mule with an ID card and vaccination certificate.”

The experiences of the CIA buying and shipping mules to Afghanistan over the next few years became the subject of legendary stories in the halls of Langley.

At one point, the Pakistanis became so ornery that they wouldnÂ’t permit the CIAÂ’s transporter to leave the mule manure in Pakistan. They made the planes carry the smelly droppings back to Europe.”
