Free AQ Khan, a vulnerable man to foreign agencies | A Q Khan, Pakistani nuclear scientist, widely regarded as the founder of Pakistan's nuclear program, is a free man again and many consider that he may share the secrets with establishments around the world. In January 2004, Khan
had confessed to having been involved in a secret international network of nuclear
weapons technology proliferation from Pakistan to Libya, Iran and North Korea.
It is believed that Khan and his network were one of the worst proliferators of
nuclear technology that could be used to develop nuclear weapons. Though Khan
had been pardoned by Musharraf, the difficulty arises on the question that Khan
was involved in a network and supplying blueprints for various parts of a nuclear
programme for sale onwards to other countries. Certainly, it becomes a cause of
worry that Khan can go beyond his bitterness towards a former dictator and perhaps
start to talk about the many, many secrets he undoubtedly keeps regarding the
country's nuclear programme, The Dawn reports. In an August, 2005, Musharraf had
confirmed that Khan had supplied gas centrifuges and gas centrifuge parts to North
Korea and, possibly, an amount of uranium hexafluoride, which can make agencies
around the world to try and get their hands on a free A.Q. Khan.
