| Malaysia PM urges nuclear probe |
| 2004-02-06 |
| Just the new stuff: Malaysia’s prime minister has told police to investigate "without favour" allegations his son had a stake in a company making nuclear parts for Libya. Abdullah Badawi said there was nothing to fear from the truth. "You can’t handle the truth!" Police say foreign intelligence warned them that Malaysian centrifuge parts were on a Libyan-bound ship last year. That would be the US, Britian and maybe Germany. The company, controlled by Kamaluddin Abdullah, made the parts after being told they were for oil and gas work, a spokesman said. "We received the drawing for the part and made it according to the drawing. We were told these parts were for the oil and gas industry," factory manager Che Lokman Che Omar told reporters. This could be true, how many people even know what a nuclear centrifuge looks like. Remember Sammy had the barrels for his "supergun" manufactured in Britian saying they were high pressure pipes for the oil industry. |

| #1 Mahathir is up to his neck in this. He's supported many Islamist positions in the past, including unifying and arming the ummah (khalifa), nukes for Muslims (the Islamic bomb), and replacing the dollar with the gold standard. The major difference between him and Mahmoud al-Ghamdi on the block in Mekkah is that Mahathir is not anti-technology and is OK with women going to university and working in factories as long as they wear the hijab. Now the son of his annointed successor is revealed as the majority investor in a key link in Khan's nuclear network. You don't need to believe in conspiracy theories to see what's going on here. |
