Sources

Crowley was a source for David Wise's 1992 book Molehunt.[5] In 1993, journalist Gregory Douglas conducted a series of phone interviews with Crowley, later published in a 2013 in his book Conversations with the Crow. Douglas claimed that Crowley euphemistically told him the CIA had assassinated Indian Prime Minister Shastri, as well as Indian nuclear scientist Homi Bhabha thirteen days apart in 1966 in order to thwart the Indian nuclear programme.[6][7]
