Khan nuclear ring was more advanced than thought (Wapo)

[kpete]

Khan nuclear ring was more advanced than thought, UN says. "The IAEA said it was unable to determine the origin of some of the nuclear material found in Libya. The acknowledgment underscored concerns, long held among nuclear weapons experts, that parts of the network may continue to operate undetected."

Nuclear Ring Was More Advanced Than Thought, U.N. Says

The nuclear smuggling ring headed by Pakistani scientist Abdul Qadeer Khan possessed a broader range of secret nuclear designs than was previously known and shared them electronically among members of the network, a U.N. watchdog group said yesterday.

A report by the International Atomic Energy Agency also acknowledged large gaps in investigators' understanding of the smuggling ring, raising concerns that Khan's nuclear black market may have had additional customers whose identities remain unknown.

"Much of the sensitive information coming from the network existed in electronic form, enabling easier use and dissemination," the Vienna-based agency stated in an internal report, copies of which were obtained by several news outlets and nonprofit groups. Among the key documents, the report said, were instructions for making enriched uranium, and "more disturbingly, information related to nuclear weapons design." U.S. and U.N. officials have previously confirmed that blueprints for at least two types of nuclear weapons were found on computers owned by Swiss businessmen associated with Khan.

2. my first clue that this was a major eff up

was when I read in two books, one by Greg Palast and the other by Bernard-Henry Levy, that Abdul Qader Khan was selling off nuclear secrets, and this was well before Bush did anything about it. It was open information, and not only that Khan is a member the of Khashmir insurgent group Lashkar e-Toiba, which we classify as a terrorist group. You knew this thing had spread further than anybody was letting on.
