Javed Nasir HI(M) SBt (Urdu: جاويد ناصر; 22 December 1936 – 16 October 2024) was a Pakistani engineering officer who served as the Director-General of the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), appointed on 14 March 1992 until 13 May 1993.[1]
Known for being member of Tablighi Jamaat, Nasir gained national prominence as his role of bringing the unscattered mass of Afghan Mujahideen to agree to the power-sharing formula to form Afghan administration under President Mojaddedi in Afghanistan in 1992–93.[1] Later, he played an influential and decisive role in the Bosnian war when he oversaw the covert military intelligence programme to support the Bosnian Army against the Serbs, while airlifting the thousands of Bosnian refugees in Pakistan.[1]
