| ’Khan sold N-tech to Syria, Turkey’ |
| 2004-03-09 |
| The leadership of Pakistan was "well aware" of the "clandestine" activities of nuclear scientist Abdul Qadeer Khan, who besides Iran, Libya and North Korea, could also be behind the proliferation of sensitive nuclear technologies to Syria, Turkey and Spain, according to an IAEA official. Spain huh? Must be still sore over the loss of the Armada. "The leadership of Pakistan was well aware of the export of Pakistani nuclear technologies," the unnamed source in the International Atomic Energy Agency was quoted as saying by a Russian news agency, RIA Novosti. And if you can’t believe a unnamed source in a Russian......never mind. "It is not ruled out that besides Iran, Libya and North Korea, such supplies could have been made to Syria, Turkey and Spain," the official said. Syria is a possibility. Turkey would be a stretch, but I wouldn’t rule out the military talking about it. Spain, no, unless they’re talking about Franco, but that would have been too far back. He, however, did not say whether the Pakistani political or military leadership or both were aware of the "clandestine" activities of Dr Khan’s "black market" acting through Dubai, Malaysia, South Korea, Switzerland, Germany, Japan, UK, and the Netherlands, offering nuclear technologies to the "interested" countries. They would of had to have been deaf, dumb and blind not to have. |
