Pakistan nuke sales

From DefenseTech comes a link to an article in Jane's Defense Weekly: bq. Pakistan's government is now trying to portray the sale of nuclear technology to Iran, Libya, and North Korea as the cloak-and-dagger work of a few, isolated rogues. bq. But that's a lie, says Jane's Defense Weekly, in a report released today. Nuclear sales were so out in the open that underlings of Abdul Qadeer Khan -- the father of the Pakistani Bomb -- were handing out glossy brochures advertising their services at a 2000 arms conference. Something that large and that expensive and that dependent on critical manufacturing resources would not be unknown to the government. They are starting to come clean but need to move faster still... Regime change anyone? Posted by DaveH at February 26, 2004 12:14 PM
