The Blast Radius: How 9/11 Remade Pakistan

Twenty-five years after 9/11, everyone knows where Ground Zero was. But where did the blast radius end?
This special edition of News Weakly follows one country through the aftermath: Pakistan. From the CIA-backed Afghan jihad and the rise of the Taliban, through Musharraf’s alliance with George W. Bush, suicide bombings, Benazir Bhutto’s assassination, drone warfare and the growth of Pakistani television news, all the way to the night Osama bin Laden was found living in Abbottabad.
Pakistan didn’t carry out 9/11. No Pakistani was among the nineteen hijackers. Yet its modern history became almost impossible to separate from what happened that morning.
The physical blast lasted seconds. The political blast radius is still expanding.
