The "smuggling" was a gigantic hogwash, nothing of the sort happened from any of the specialist facilities. The only smuggling going on was couple of "measurement" instruments, few here, few there, that were being imported from abroad, nothing EVER left for outside. There was nothing illegal on "our" part, as we were not signatories to NPT, so were never culpable for any wrong-doing. Want to blame someone? Blame the ones who were signatories and exporting under the radar! Besides, you know very well the definition of "dual usage items", if you go by that definition, then even my ****/sh*t can be made to look as it has some sort of relation to a future nuclear program, you know what I am saying.....
The story was like this: We had an excellent "procurement" network for these small insignificant items, they, in the West couldn't detect it, they pushed and cornered Mushy, the bastard caved-in and gave AQ as a trophy (khwa-m-khwa). The network was ours for sure, however, it was IMPORTING stuff, very insignificant stuff - mind you not breaking any treaty!
