No Offence... But it seemed me a Debatable topic , So I have posted it.


Pak nukes through fraud: US

WASHINGTON: Pakistan has gained atomic capabilities through “international deception” and “clandestine procurement” networks, eminent US lawmakers have said, while warning that the continuation of ‘secretive’ Sino-Pak nuclear ties is setting a wrong precedence for others.



"In 1998, Pakistan conducted its first nuclear test, having developed its weapons far before then. Pakistan had gained that capacity through international deception in part whereby the true end-user of various equipment was obscured through clandestine p procurement networks," Congressman Mr Brad Sherman said at a Congressional hearing.



"We now see similar networks on behalf of other states that either are trying to develop nuclear weapons or have done so illegally. These proliferation techniques need countries to be the trans-shipment hub in the supply chain," Mr Sherman said.



He made these remarks while chairing a hearing on 'Trans-shipment and Diversion: Are US trading partners doing enough to prevent the spread of dangerous technologies' by the Terrorism, Non-Proliferation and Trade Sub-Committee of the House Foreign Affairs Committee.



"Technology and equipment from companies in countries with high-tech manufacturing can then go to those hub countries and then on to the prohibited country," Mr Sherman said.





He alleged that these hub countries have weak or non-existent export controls, ineffective customs and law enforcement officials and most importantly, little or no political will to do anything about this critical problem.

This article has more to do with profilteration and accquistion of nuclear equipment through clandestine network that critisizing Pakistani nuke program execpt for the Indian headline engineer who decided to be smart.

All countries engaged in secret procurements at one point or open purchase of tools. This article could be from a lobbyist against the possibility of nuclear collaboration in upcoming Pak-US strategic dialouge or even to thawrt Pak-China reactor deal after US failed to deliver any serious blow. India also recieved a lot of nuclear know how from Russia so did many soviet aligned countries did.

The fact is industrial revolution did not occur in India, Pakistan or even China so to execpt these countries to develop 100% indigenious nuclear know how is a fools dream. Everyone needs some base to start off and then they develop themselves.

The key point today is not how Pak got the tech but does Pak has the tech and it is able to carry forward its research??

A quick google search shows this headline originated and made rounds only in Indian media followed by repost on some forums. Therefore i would take it as some stray indian dogs barking.

The whole of Pakistani nation would lead to revolt if they find our nuke capability is just some "pataka" however you are doing us a favour in discrediting AQ Khan so we can get our hands clean from his "dirty" acts and the shame he has bought upon us.

Did someone else run the same search on google?

Pakistan has the right to acquire whatever weapons and by any means to keep the country safe.

Anyway, it was China that violated international non-proliferation agreements to transfer technologies to countries like North Korea.

and what if its true?

Everyone has got Nuclear technology out of some source , can someone explain how US got hold of Nuclear Technology ?

Where did the Russians get ?

Nuclear technology has its roots in Nazi Germany and this is where it all started , though the winners of the WWII would never accept this fact but it wont change.

US and Russia Arrested Nazi scientists and took them to their Respective countries where they were forced or tempted to do work for them and this is how Russian and US Rocket and Nuclear Industry started.

Israel was provided Nuclear technology by France and US , Indian Technology has its roots in Israel - some also believe that the first 2 warheads which Indians tested in 1998 were actually Israeli warheads.

One more thing we need to consider about this article is that it is just an "American Senator" saying that not "US Govt" as the thread starter has written on the title.

Pakistan needed Nuclear technology we attain it whatever it took - Enemies of Pakistan will keep burning and sweating through their "Bottoms" it doesn't bother us.

Is there another source for this news? I looked for another source and all I see is MSN india talk about it, which makes unreliable

 

[Awesome]

I guess its not half as bad as soliciting help from Germans and even defecting Nazis.

And a mighty amen to our deceptive ways. Thank God we were smart enough to do what we needed to. When I see articles like this, it makes me immensely proud to be a Pakistani. I am sure we made the Israeli Mossad proud by testifying to 'By Way of Deception, thou shalt do War'.



No shame in this game!

Nuke technology is not sold at the nearest super markets. Therefore, we did what was right for our projects. However, we did try first to acquire this technology in legitimate manner and opted for the other alternatives when our legitimate aspiration was denied by the world powers who have complete monopoly.

Some includes you and half a dozen researchers like you?
