Afghanistani government asked British to give them lethal gases for use against Pasht

[Samandri]

The Afghanistani government tried to acquire gas shells for use against the Pashtun/Afghan tribes (in the events of dangerous risings) between 1932-34. However, it was denied by the British for various reasons. The documents also reveal that the Afghan government had employed a German chemist who pretended that he could make lethal gas. The Afghans asked him to fill a room with this gas so that they could test its effects on criminals. He declined on grounds of humanity.

A decade earlier British themselves had debated whether to use poison gases (mustard gas etc) on Pashtun tribes on their North West Frontier but the idea was dismissed because of the danger of alienating pro-British Pashtuns in present-day FATA on whom they greatly depended . Many officers on the ground were asking for use of gas against Pashtuns in turbulent areas but the higher-ups did not approve it. http://www.kingscollections.org/medi...nGasOption.pdf



The Afghan government of Nadir Khan must have been fearing another Bacha-i-Saqao episode , hence the attempt to acquire chemical weapons

Nadir Khan must have wanted to continue Amanullah khan policy of trying to change the conservative society through brute force.
