Pol Le Gourrierec (or Le Gourriérec) was a French diplomat. He is most prominently known for an incident during his service as French Ambassador to Pakistan.

Early life

Born in Cléguérec on January 15, 1921,[1] he was fluent in Breton as well as French.[1][3] In January 1945, he was one of the founders, along with poet and editor Ronan Huon, of the Breton language cultural magazine, Tír na nÓg [5] which merged in 1948 with Al Liamm.[3]

Diplomatic service

He had an early interest in North Africa.[7] In 1948, he joined the diplomatic service.[3]

He served as an embassy secretary in Morocco in the late 1950s.[9] He was Chargés d'Affaires in Iraq from February to September 1963.[10]{{rp|67}}[11]{{rp|77}} He was First Counselor of the Embassy in Warsaw in 1964.[12] In the late 1960s, he was Director of North African Affairs,{{rp|1076}} and visited Tunisia in 1969.[14] He served as French Ambassador to Bulgaria from 1971 to 1975,[10]{{rp|46}} to Pakistan from 1976 to 1979,[10]{{rp|87}} and to the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic from 1979 to 1982.[10]{{rp|102}}

Pakistan

Background

The French had initially resisted US pressure to cancel a contract to build a nuclear fuel reprocessing plant, but the deal gradually unravelled sometime in mid to late 1978, certainly by February 1979, as the French became concerned about Pakistan's intentions regarding nuclear weapons.[18]{{rp|472}}[19][20]

Incident

On 26 June 1979, Le Gourrierec and his First Secretary, Jean Forlot, were stopped at a checkpoint. They were driving alone through the town of Kahuta some 25 miles southwest of Islamabad, in a vehicle with a local rather than a diplomatic number plate and without displaying a diplomatic flag. According to Denoël, they were driving to Islamabad, and intended to visit a long-unused military fortress, but accidentally took a wrong turn and passed near a secret nuclear bomb complex.{{rp|191}} However, according to several sources, their presence was intentional.[18] There was a physical altercation with five or six men.[18]{{rp|66}}[24][25]

Le Gourrierec was severely beaten,[20][24] and sustained a broken tooth, while Forlot had a split skull.[28] The men who assaulted them were not bandits or thugs, as initially suggested by the Pakistani authorities, but were plain-clothed members of the security forces, acting under orders.[24][25] According to Khan, Forlot was passing on information to the CIA and may have been actively spying on its behalf.[24][25] Khan suggests that foreigners "got the message" and subsequently avoided the area,[24] but the Yugoslav ambassador later drove slowly along the perimeter wall in a show of solidarity, albeit with a diplomatic flag.[18]

Family

His son, Alain Le Gourriérec,[3] was French Ambassador to Paraguay from 1993 to 1994,[10]{{rp|88}} to Chile from 2001 to 2005,[10]{{rp|49}} and to Mexico from 2005 to 2008.[3][10]{{rp|81}}
