	Abdul Qadeer Khan Information
		Abdul Qadeer Khan was born in 1935 into a middle-class Pakhtun Muslim family in Bhopal, India, which migrated to Pakistan in 1952 following the country's separation from India five years earlier.
		It is widely believed Dr. Khan's two daughters, who live in the UK and are UK subjects (thanks to their part-British, part-South African mother), are in possession of extensive documentation linking the government of Pakistan to Dr. Khan's activities; such documentation is presumably intended to ensure that no further action is taken against Dr. Khan.

	Abdul Qadeer Khan - dKosopedia
		Abdul Qadeer Khan (born 1935, Bhopal, India) is a Pakistani engineer widely regarded as the father of Pakistan's nuclear weapons program.
		Khan rejected any suggestion that Pakistan had illicitly acquired nuclear expertise: "All the research work [at Kahuta] was the result of our innovation and struggle," he told a group of Pakistani librarians in 1990.
		In the face of strong American criticism, the Pakistani government announced in March 2001 that Khan was to be dismissed from his post as chairman of KRL, a move that drew strong criticism from the religious and nationalist opposition to President Pervez Musharraf.

		It was an article on Abdul Qadeer Khan, the father of Pakistan’s nuclear atomic bombs, and his recent suspicious visits to African countries.
		At first Khan was known as a hero after starting and creating the Pakistani nuclear program in the 1980s and allowing the first nuclear bomb to a stable Islamic government.
		Khan was under house arrest in Pakistan but was later pardoned by the Pakistani president after he confessed his actions.

		Khan acknowledges he did take advantage of his experience of many years of working on similar projects in Europe and his contacts there with various manufacturing firms, but denies engaging in nuclear espionage for which a court in Amsterdam sentenced him in absentia in 1983 to four years in prison.
		Despite his extreme prominence (Khan is one of the most famous men in Pakistan) and undoubted importance in Pakistan's acquisition of nuclear weapons, A. Khan was never in charge of the actual development of nuclear weapons themselves (despite common assumptions to the contrary, which Khan did nothing to discourage).
		Abdul Qadeer Khan's official career came to an abrupt end in March 2001, when he and PAEC Chairman Ishfaq Ahmed were suddenly retired by order of General (and now President) Pervez Musharraf.

	Profile: Pakistani nuclear scientist Abdul Qadeer Khan
		Abdul Qadeer Khan, who has been questioned in Pakistan over possible transfers of nuclear technology to Iran, is regarded as a national hero for helping his country become a nuclear state.
		Nevertheless, Dr Khan's standing in Pakistan is so high as the father of the nation's atomic bomb that his questioning in the current probe has been described merely as a "routine debriefing".
		Khan ultimately was tried for treason in absentia in the Netherlands, but the case was dropped when prosecutors failed to properly deliver a summons.

		AQK, a devout Muslim with a penchant for the lifestyle of the rich and famous, is under house arrest after admitting he peddled nuclear know-how to North Korea, Iran and Libya.
		AQK and his nuclear scientists had given Libya the wherewithal, originally stolen from the plant where Dr. Khan worked in the Netherlands in the 1970s, to manufacture the centrifuge technology needed to refine uranium to weapons-grade quality.
		AQK's Khan Research Laboratories (KRL) — the heart of Pakistan's nuclear establishment — was so secret even civilian prime ministers were not allowed to visit the installations 20 miles west of Islamabad.

	Nuclear Tales from Pakistan \| Science and Technology
		Khan's key innovation was to integrate what was earlier a disaggregated market place for such technologies, design, engineering, and consultancy services; and in the process offer clients the option of telescoping the time required to develop a nuclear weapons capability.
		While Khan himself has been under placed under informal house arrest, his aides are undergoing what Pakistani government spokesmen politely describe as "debriefing sessions." In late January 2004, the government ultimately stripped Khan of his cabinet rank and fired him from his position as senior advisor to the chief executive.
		Khan's friends have also privately suggested that General Pervez Musharraf, who succeeded Karamat and took over responsibility for the Ghauri missile program in 1998, had to have known about the transfers to North Korea.

		Dr Abdul Qadeer Khan, the “father” of Pakistan’s nuclear weapons programme and the man who relentlessly pursued it through clandestine means and methods for decades, has finally admitted in a written statement that he oversaw its further clandestine spread to at least three other countries.
		Khan for decades has been acting as the key strategist of nuclear development programme in the country and so it stands to reason that he would also have a definitive advisory vision and skill for the years to come.
		Khan’s wife, reportedly, wrote back to her neighbors in Holland that they were on vacation and that her husband had fallen ill. Later, Dr. Khan sent his letter of resignation to FDO, to be effective from March 1976.

		However, Beg insists that Khan had assured him that the equipment being sold was outmoded, old, and disused, and would not enable Tehran to enrich uranium in the near term.
		Khan received lucrative cut from selling Pakistani nuclear technology, but Khan and his associates abused such privilege by making unauthorized sales of goods and services and reap huge personal financial rewards in the process.

		Khan had learned about gas centrifuges when he worked on uranium enrichment technology for a Dutch company from 1972 to 1975.
		Khan says he and his colleagues devised "a strategy to buy everything we needed in the open market to lay the foundation of a good infrastructure and would then switch over to indigenous production." In 1983 Khan was sentenced in absentia for trying to steal enrichment secrets from the Netherlands.

	Uncovering the Nuclear Black Market
		Dr. Khan's statement was a significant breakthrough for international efforts to uncover a secret network involved in illegal trading of nuclear technology.
		This network is commonly called the "Khan" network, although this name may be misleading by focusing too much on the role of one individual, namely Abdul Qadeer Khan, the father of Pakistan's gas centrifuge program.
		The network was the creation of A. Khan and his associates who sought to capitalize on the elaborate, highly successful illicit procurement network they had created to supply the Pakistani gas centrifuge program beginning in the 1970s.

	Documents Indicate A.Q. Khan Offered Nuclear Weapon Designs to Iraq in 1990: Did He Approach Other Countries?
		Pakistani government investigations are reported to have obtained a statement from Abdul Qadeer Khan, the father of Pakistan's gas centrifuge program who was recently removed from his post as advisor to Pakistan's Prime Minister, acknowledging that he provided nuclear technology, components, and equipment to Iran, Libya, and North Korea.
		However, a troubling development is the likelihood that Khan and his associates have also transferred nuclear weapon designs to these countries.
		However, the memo notes that a meeting with Khan directly was not possible at that time, given the tense international atmosphere resulting from Iraq's continued occupation of Kuwait and the impending attack by Coalition forces.

		Khan also described his nuclear program as more sophisticated than India's in an interview published Saturday in Pakistan's leading English-language newspaper, The News.
		Khan claims the medium-range missile has a range of nearly 1,000 miles (1,500 kilometers) and can strike any target in India without being detected after firing.
		Khan said those five tests were "all boosted fission devices using uranium 235." He added that Pakistan could conduct a fusion or thermo-nuclear blast "if asked."

	Qadeer Abdul Khan
		Given that the US suspects the anti-western Pakistani scientist Dr Qadeer Abdul Khan of possible collusion with Al Quaeda, is it that much of a stretch to posit that he could also be a prime candidate for the source of know-how for the new uranium enrichment plant in Iran?
		Dr Khan is most famous for being the father of the Pakistani nuclear bomb, an achievement which has won him fame and adoration in his home country.
		The theory goes that the expertise of Dr Khan in matters nuclear was traded for the missile expertise of the North Koreans.

	Abdul Qadeer Khan
		We observed the Abdul Qadeer Khan affair, the incredible story of this Pakistani nuclear scientist who delivered over 15 years -- freely and with impunity -- his most sensitive secrets to Libya, Iran and North Korea.
		We will soon learn that far from being the overexcited, but in the end isolated, "Dr. Strangelove" that most of the press has described, Khan was at the center of an immense network, an incredibly dense web.
		So let us not shrink from measuring the probability of a nightmare scenario: to wit, a Pakistani state which -- in the shelter of its alliance with an America that is decidedly not counting inconsistencies -- could furnish al Qaeda with the means to take the ultimate step of its jihad.
