  CNS - Nuclear Tales from Pakistan - Feb. 23, 2004 - Research Story
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.
Once Khan and his associates developed a successful model of clandestine trade in forbidden technologies outside formal governmental control, they were able to offer their services for financial rewards to other bidders in the international system.

Born in Bhopal, Dr. A.Q. Khan is a German-educated metallurgist who, from May 1972 to December1975 was employed by Physics Dynamic Research Laboratory (also known as FDO), an engineering firm based in Amsterdam and a subcontractor to the URENCO consortium specializing in the manufacture of nuclear equipment.
A.Q. Khan's official career came to an abrupt end in March 2001, when he was suddenly was forced out as director of the nuclear lab by order of President Pervez Musharraf.
Moreover, Khan and colleagues of his had published numerous scientific papers internationally on the making and testing of uranium centrifuges, including one dated from 1991 which detailed the methodology to be followed in ecthing grooves on the bottom of a centrifuge to aid the flow of lubricants and thus aid in the centrifuge's spinning speed.

Khan was appointed by then-Pakistani Prime Minister Ali Bhutto to run Pakistan's nuclear-research program, with the goal of countering India's nuclear aspirations with a weapon of its own.
It is clear that Khan met with, and possibly sold components to, officials in a number of nuclear-aspiring states.
As much damage as the fl market may have done in bringing North Korea and Iran closer to membership in the nuclear club, the present danger lies in how the supplier network adapts now that Khan is no longer at the helm.

Abdul Qadeer Khan, considered the father of Pakistan's nuclear bomb, and Mohammed Farooq provided the help--including blueprints for equipment used to enrich uranium--both directly and through a fl market based in the Persian Gulf emirate of Dubai, the officials said.
Khan was chairman of the laboratory until 2001, when he was dismissed by Musharraf, at least partly because of concerns about financial improprieties at the lab, officials said.
Khan was well-compensated for his work in behalf of the Iranians, the officials said.

A.Q. Khan has claimed that equipment and drawing shipped to Iran were supplied as a result of pressure from the late Gen. Imtiaz during his tenure as defense advisor to Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto from December 1988 to August 1990.
Faced with disclosure, Khan reportedly contacted Iranian officials to not only urge them to destroy some of their facilities but also to pretend that the Pakistanis who had assisted them had died.

 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.

Dubai was the hub of Khan's covert distribution operation, a transportation and storage base for parts and machinery destined for the secret nuclear programs in Iran and Libya, shipping records and investigation files show.
Amid speculation that Khan might have operated with the knowledge or assistance of other high-ranking military officials in Pakistan, President Pervez Musharraf pardoned Khan early this year and has refused to permit investigators from the IAEA or the United States to interview him.
The operating instructions were drawn from videos of Khan's top-secret, government-owned enrichment plant in Pakistan, designs from that plant and instructions assembled by network participants in Dubai, according to documents and investigators.

Khan was convicted in absentia in the Netherlands for stealing the designs, but the conviction was overturned because he was not properly served with court papers.

Khan Market is a funny place and in many ways sums up the expat experience in Delhi for me (here is my brief flickr album of one visit).
Quite a few people I met claimed that at Khan Market you could find “any imported food you could want,” which was of course a totally bogus claim (as it is of the other food markets in Delhi).
Like so many things I saw in India, with Khan Market it is best to take the descriptions (including this one) with a grain of salt and experience it for yourself.

Bolton described Libya's nuclear disarmament and the exposure of Khan's fl market as highlights of the Bush record, and said North Korea and Iran might be further along if not for the administration's tough stand.
Feroz Hassan Khan, who was then a director in the army's strategic plans division, said in an interview that "there would have been a positive response" if Armitage had used that moment to demand action against the nuclear fl market.
Libya's disarmament, Khan's exposure and the ongoing war in Iraq -- signature events in Bush's nuclear record -- do not address what intelligence agencies describe as the major source of terrorist risk: "the vulnerability of Russian WMD materials and technology to theft or diversion," as Tenet put it last year.

 The New Yorker: PRINTABLES
On February 4th, Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan, who is revered in Pakistan as the father of the country’s nuclear bomb, appeared on a state-run television network in Islamabad and confessed that he had been solely responsible for operating an international fl market in nuclear-weapons materials.
The most recent revelations about the nuclear fl market were triggered by the National Council of Resistance of Iran, a now defunct opposition group that has served as the political wing of the People’s Mujahideen Khalq, a group that has been on the State Department’s list of terrorist organizations since 1997.
Because of the ongoing investigation into Khan and his nuclear-proliferation activities, the I.A.E.A.’s visibility and credibility have grown.The key issue, Mohamed ElBaradei, the director-general of the I.A.E.A., told me, in an interview at the organization’s headquarters in Vienna, is non-state actors.

The nuclear fl market used by Pakistan's top atomic scientist to sell nuclear technology to Iran, Libya and North Korea may be far bigger than initially feared, the U.N. nuclear watchdog and Western diplomats have said.
In contrast to media reports that the nuclear fl market Khan used was small, diplomats said the available evidence indicated it is massive.
A third diplomat said Khan may be able to provide the "silver bullet" showing he sold Tehran not only uranium enrichment technology, which has peaceful uses, but know-how that could only be used for bombs.

On September 9, 2006, Dr. A Q Khan was operated at Agha Khan hospital Karachi and according to doctors the operation was successful, but on October 30 of that year it was revealed that his condition had deteriorated and he was suffering from deep vein thrombosis.

He is Abdul Qadeer Khan who was, until his role in trading nuclear technology was recently exposed, Pakistan's top nuclear scientist, and the father of the "Islamic bomb." Khan collected most of his nuclear know-how from Western Europe and China over the last 20 years.
Khan apparently operated with the full knowledge of Pakistani President (and former general) Pervez Musharraf, who granted Khan a full pardon after his activities were exposed last month.
Regarding North Korea's role, NSA Condoleezza Rice notes that details of Khan's con were having a profound impact upon the United States' ability to confront and negotiate with Pyongyang.

Njabini was selected due to its proximity to both the urban Nairobi market and the National Potato Research Centre (NPRC) and due to the importance of potato in the farming system of the area.
A few of those initially selected dropped out from the survey either by no longer coming to the market or by simply expressing their deep distaste for the regular and continual questions from which they perceived no benefit streams accruing to them and were thus unwilling to continue participating.
During the rainy season the market gets flooded with muddy water that can only be negotiated in gumboots and wholesalers say this discourages their customers from entering.

 Pakistan's nuclear role questioned | The San Diego Union-Tribune
While rogue nations were the main customers of the nuclear fl market, sales of enriched uranium and warhead drawings have fed international fears that terrorists also could have bought weapons technology or material, the diplomats said.
But his pardon of Khan led to speculation the scientist agreed to keep silent on any government involvement in exchange for avoiding punishment.
The uranium apparently was sold by individuals in the fl market and not by the Russian government and carried a signature typical of enrichment in the former Soviet Union, the diplomats said.

Capital market should have some humour and should not react vehemently to such off-the-cuff remarks, Chidambaram said, hesitating to comment on the markets now.

Chinese-made firecrackers, lights and toys have flooded the Indian market for the past few years and the gods could not have been far behind once they realized that there is money to be made from the vast untapped consumer market beyond the high-end white goods and luxury products.
