KHAN PAKISTAN NUCLEAR ARMS DEALER

The man who armed Iran & North Korea with Nuclear secrets

Born in Bhopal, Dr. A.Q. Khan is a German-educated metallurgist who, from May 1972 to December1975 was employed by Physics Dynamic Research Laboratory (also known as FDO), an engineering firm based in Amsterdam. October 2003 interception of a ship headed for Libya and carrying centrifuge parts, Pakistan began seriously investigating A.Q. Khan as did the west. The United Nation's International Atomic Energy Agency in November 2003 itself warned Pakistan of possible nuclear leaks. After two months of investigations, in late January 2004 Pakistani officials concluded that two of the country's most senior nuclear scientists had black market contacts that supplied sensitive technology to Iran and Libya. In July 2008, he told Pakistani reporters that Pakistan had transported uranium enrichment equipment to North Korea in 2000 with the full knowledge of the country’s army, then headed by Mr. Musharraf. Abdul Qadeer Khan, shocked the world in Feb 2004, when he went on television and confessed to leaking nuclear secrets for money. Many of Pakistan's nuclear scientists are committed Islamic fundamentalists so it is too late to stop the flow as the army is corrupt yet the USA and others need Pakistan to fight the insurgents 2009. Khan is now free as at Feb 6th 2009 after the courts bowed to pressure yet the USA has lent them billions to prop up the military.

There was certainly no remorse on Khan's part for his actions in selling nuclear secrets that have now been transformed into bombs. "I will always be proud about what I did for Pakistan," Khan said. "I am obliged to answer only to my government, not to any foreigners," he continued, signaling that he will continue to resist attempts by officials from the U.S. and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to interview him about his role in the world's biggest nuclear scandal. Last year, a United Nations nuclear watchdog said Khan's network was active in 12 countries.

INDIA NUCLEAR PROJECT SUPPLIED BY THE WEST

But India also was sold secrets by Germany. Western companies have supplied India's controversial nuclear program for more than three decades. All of India's plutonium-making reactors and heavy water production plants are based on foreign designs.

China: Sold at least 130 tons of heavy water to a German broker who smuggled the material to India for use in unsafeguarded nuclear reactors. Germany: Supplied unsafeguarded Nangal and Talcher heavy water plants; sold teleperm process control system to Hazira heavy water plant. German firm was fined $800,000 by the U.S. for illegally re-exporting U.S.-origin beryllium. German broker arranged illicit sales of more than 200 tons of heavy water to India. Supplied natural lithium for making tritium to boost Nbombs. Norway:
More than 26 tons of Norwegian heavy water was diverted to India through Romania and Switzerland. Sweden:
Sold flash X-ray devices, which can be used for nuclear weapon development. Soviet Union/Russia:
Secretly sold at least 80 tons of heavy water to run unsafeguarded reactors. United Kingdom: Supplied turbine generator designs used at several unsafeguarded reactors Repaired damaged heavy water equipment at Madras reactor. United States: Supplied heavy water for Cirus reactor that made plutonium for India's first nuclear bomb.

So we just have to wait and see what Khan has done with Iran and North Korea all for greed and money. But he is not the only one to blame as USA left there nuclear box open for others to copy. Now its far too late as we wait to see who does what.
