Scientist: Pakistan Knew Of NKorea Nuke Deal

Abdul Qadeer Khan

From Yahoo News:

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - Pakistan gave centrifuges to North Korea in a 2000 shipment supervised by the army during the rule of President Pervez Musharraf, nuclear scientist Abdul Qadeer Khan said Friday.

Khan told The Associated Press in a telephone interview that the uranium enrichment equipment was sent from Pakistan in a North Korean plane that was loaded under the supervision of Pakistani security officials.

His claims contradict his 2004 confession that he was solely responsible for spreading nuclear technology to Iran, North Korea and Libya — and Pakistan's repeated denials its army or government knew about Khan's nuclear proliferation activities.

My Comment: Now we know why they have kept him locked up for the past four years .... he knows too much.

After providing billions in aid to Pakistan, selling advanced military hardware, and giving diplomatic support abroad .... we now know that Pakistan is providing nuclear technologies to rogue nations, supporting the Taliban in murdering coalition soldiers and Afghan civilians, and even providing support and comfort to Al Qaeda.

Pakistan may talk like an ally .... but their actions are that of an enemy.
