The network of the International nuclear black market existed even before AQ Khan, since Henk Slebos, an alleged accomplice to provide illicit material to Khan, was already convicted in 1985.

He served our country he is our pride Who cares barking dogs

What a long winded, spiralled and loaded introduction. Let me help u:- 1. Father of Pak Nuc Program. 2. Nation’s hero (another’s villain). 3. Could not just sell technology at his own; implies either his confession was under duress or allegation was in itself wrongly framed.

A hero of Pakistan. May his soul rest in peace

sure no Einstein! Neither are the greedy, whether they seek money, power, or dogmatic beliefs.

Well, Alfred Nobel also patented dynamite. Who knows maybe there'll be Khan Prize. Ah, ups. Mr. Khan isn't from west country.

Seriously? 🤷‍♂️ You never said it’s a failure of CIA “if” this happened 😒 And do publish some articles regarding Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria and many more massacres 🤦‍♂️ DrAbdulQadeerKha drabdulqadeer
