...PERILOUS SITUATION CREATED BY THE weapons peddling of nuclear expert A.Q. Khan cannot be ignored [Feb. 14]. Pakistan's nuclear technology appears to be the common factor in tracing the history of equipment found in Libya, Iran and North Korea. That is evidence of a clear breach of law and a real alliance of evil. In this age of nuclear weaponry, new lines must be drawn in the sand. If diplomacy and inspections fail, a multilateral military solution might be the only viable way to avert catastrophe...
...KHAN'S SALE OF NUCLEAR SECRETS AND A complicit Pakistani government have made the world a ticking time bomb. That smuggling operation took place under the nose of the CIA and other global-intelligence agencies. But what country did President Bush go after for hiding weapons of mass destruction? Iraq, a Middle Eastern country that didn't have the Bomb. Given that track record, there is no reason to feel confident that Khan is safely under house arrest in Islamabad...
...view seem dangerously naive. If North Korea was producing enough UF6 to export to Libya, it surely had enough for its weapons labs at home. There is some evidence that North Korea sold its UF6 not directly to Libya but via the black-market bazaar of Pakistani scientist A.Q. Khan. That means that North Korea may not have known where its UF6 was going when it sold it, says Gordon Flake, a North Korea analyst at the Mansfield Center for Pacific Affairs. The new UF6 evidence was apparently strong enough to help the two NSC aides, Michael Green and William...
...with the answers passes his days in Islamabad, his once peripatetic lifestyle now confined to the interior of his villa. A close friend says Khan's health is poor, and he is given to bouts of depression. Although the man may fade into obscurity, the world is only beginning to reckon with his legacy. It's still a seller's market in the nuclear bazaar. And now there's room at the top. --With reporting by Ghulam Hasnain/ Karachi, Sayed Talat Hussain/ Islamabad, Timothy J. Burger and Elaine Shannon/ Washington, Scott MacLeod/ Tripoli, Andrew Purvis/ Vienna, Simon Robinson/Johannesburg and Nahid...
...many questions remain unresolved, including whether Khan sold blueprints for building a nuclear warhead to Iran, as he did with Libya. If true, such a finding would allow the U.S. to ratchet up its charges that Tehran's nuclear research has a military purpose. What's more, sources close to Khan Research Laboratories in Islamabad tell TIME that even though its head has been removed, Khan's illicit network of suppliers and middlemen is still out there. "Nothing has changed," one of Khan's former aides says. "The hardware is still available, and the network hasn't stopped." A recent...
