A fact from 1977 Pakistani military coup appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 2 October 2009 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that Operation Fair Play was the codename for the 1977 military coup that overthrew the regime of Pakistani Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2009/October.

rewrite of lede

The first sentence of the article
Operation Fair Play was a cold war military intelligence program ran under the secret directives of the Chief of Army Staff General Zia-ul-Haq to remove Prime minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto from the national power,
is problematic.

Nowhere in rest of the article is the "cold war" mentioned. and Why "program"? Was there more to the Operation than just a coup?

I rewrote the lede mentioning its date, stuff that happened afterwards.--BoogaLouie (talk) 15:44, 13 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
