A.Q.Khan the Father, Mastermind and Pioneer of the Nuclear Program of Pakistan is the most dangerous man on the Earth. In fact he is the only man on this planet Earth, who is responsible for proliferation of Nuclear Warhead Technology in wrong hands, which may ultimately cause all living beings on the planet Earth a real danger for survival.
This is an open fact that without the support of state funding and involvement an individual can’t develop such a Nuclear Proliferation Network, which require huge amount of Fund, Men and Machinery.
The so called detention of A.Q.Khan in Islamabad in Pakistan was suspicious in the eye of World media from the beginning, which is also lifted by the Pakistani Govt.
Khan had said in an interview long back that he was pressed into the confession by President Pervez Musharraf. “It was not of my own free will. It was handed into my hand”. Asked why he had confessed, he said: “If one person takes responsibility, you save the country.”
Western nations, particularly the United States, which was interested in quizzing Khan over his alleged links with al-Qa’eda. Khan has hinted that if freed from house arrest, he may give further details about his confession and the scope of his activities.
This is despite previous statements that he would never cooperate with the International Atomic Energy Agency, the United Nations’s nuclear watchdog, which holds grave concerns that his nuclear secrets could fall into the hands of terror groups.
With this latest development and with the rise in control of Taliban,new equations may come up which are even more dangerous for the whole World.
Thank you for sharing your side of the story. To be honest, A.Q Khan’s case has been deeply politicized. Again it has been a true fact that ”To some, he may be a villain but to some he may be a hero” Same is the case here.
A. Q Khan is the most respected person in Pakistan, he may not be so in India ,though. In the same sense, Mehmood Ghaznavi might still be rememberd in India as a villain or a robber who tried to rob indian jewels but still here, he is the hero.
Vijay, the world has always been in danger, the important thing to notice is that Who really makes it dangerous? Is it a single individual or the policy adopted by the politicians? If you or anyone considers A.Q Khan as the most dangerous person on earth, the same analogy can be made for the scientist who thoght of making nuclear bombs for US. History recorded Hiroshima and Nagasaki mass murders, US’s defeat in Vietnam, US’s Invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan. USSR’s invasion of Afghanistan. India’s rule in Kashmir. Don’t you think that more than individuals, it is the political and military leaderships that put the world into a more dangerous place. Scientists do what they think is a service for their nation. Your scientists made nuclear bombs for you. Can anyone gaurantee that in the future Hindu Extremists won’t lay hands on them? What about Israel. Highly developed nation but still extremists use its might to trample the poor palestinians and lebanese?
So, its a matter of responsibility and not of individuals who should be highlighted like US highlights OBL.
All these Nuclear Weapons if goes in the hand of Taliban,then what’ll happened one can’t even imagined.
A.Q.khan is a great scientist and there is no doubt about his intelligence and capabilities but if such technologies are going in unstable countries from Pakistan,which is also facing problem due to rise of Taliban,then the whole humankind will suffer.
An important thing that I want to mention here is A Q Khan’s much bragged about status as a great scientist. Is he raelly one? I don’t know (and I’ll search it) but I haven’t heard anything like a great publication or any intellectual contribution to science. So until I confirm it, I won’t call him a great scientist. Abdul Salam, on the otehr hand, was a great scientist.
General public only remembers and recognizes those who produces devices of mass destruction’s and not to them,who are paving the way for upliftment of the life of ordinary peoples.
Dr. Khan is a Germany trained Metallurgist who brought with him technique of gas centrifuge technologies that he had acquired through his position at the classified URENCO Uranium Enrichment Plant in Holand. Dr. Khan also reportedly brought with him stolen Uranium Enrichment Technologies from Europe. He was put in charge of building, equipping and operating Pakistan’s Kahuta facility, which was established in 1976. Under Khan’s direction, Pakistan employed an extensive clandestine network in order to obtain the necessary materials and technology for its developing uranium enrichment capabilities.
In the 1990s Pakistan began to pursue plutonium production capabilities. With Chinese assistance, Pakistan built the 40 MWt (megawatt thermal) Khusab research reactor at Joharabad, and in April 1998, Pakistan announced that the reactor was operational. According to public statements made by US officials, this unsafeguarded heavy water reactor generates an estimated 8-10 kilotons of weapons grade plutonium per year, which is enough for one to two nuclear weapons. The reactor could also produce tritium if it were loaded with lithium-6. According to J. Cirincione of Carnegie, Khusab’s plutonium production capacity could allow Pakistan to develop lighter nuclear warheads that would be easier to deliver with a ballistic missile.
”Islamabad’s nuclear weapons are probably stored in component form” and that ”Pakistan probably could assemble the weapons fairly quickly.” However, no one has been able to ascertain the validity of Pakistan’s assurances about their nuclear weapons security.
Pakistan’s reliance primarily on HEU makes its fissile materials particularly vulnerable to diversion. HEU can be used in a relatively simple gun-barrel-type design, which could be within the means of non-state actors that intend to assemble a crude nuclear weapon.
The terrorist attacks on September 11th raised concerns about the security of Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal. According to press reports, within two days of the attacks, Pakistan’s military began relocating nuclear weapons components to six new secret locations. Shortly thereafter, Gen. Pervez Musharraf fired his intelligence chief and other officers and detained several suspected retired nuclear weapons scientists, in an attempt to root out extremist elements that posed a potential threat to Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal.
Concerns have also been raised about Pakistan as a proliferant of nuclear materials and expertise. In November, 2002, shortly after North Korea admitted to pursuing a nuclear weapons program, the press reported allegations that Pakistan had provided assistance in the development of its uranium enrichment program in exchange for North Korean missile technologies.

She said that his activities in Black Nuclear Market is still going on.

Hi Vijay: Thank you for turning my attention to your new article on Pakistan’s nuclear energy program and A.Q. Khan.
In my estimation, having atomic nuclear weaponry existing in the governmental hands of Iran, North Korea or Pakistan could lead to annihilation of humanity.
All the governments mentioned above are as unstable as they are infested with elements of active terrorism targeted directly against the United States and US allies.
I am new to the subject of A.Q. Khan, I need to read up on this topic in greater detail.
Thanks again; please notify me about additional articles you write about the topic.
Have a good day:)

b) They want to punish Kafirs and Idol worshippers in India
c) Like the Mughals did in the past they want to take over our country, loot and plunder our wealth. Kill our men and rape our women.
Unfortunately for the rest of the world, Islam can be interpreted in such a way that these things are sanctioned by the Quran and Allah will reward people who are involved in these acts against Kafirs.
So long as this kind of nations have access to weapons of mass destruction and have people blinded by their religion and stupid idologies the world is always in danger.

Only with the support of local population,such situation can be brought under control.
All my earlier prediction turned into reality and the situation in whole of South Asia may get worse if Pakistan and their Army fails in controlling rise of Taliban and the situation may further turn horrible if such devices of mass destruction goes in the hands of Terrorists.
But somehow , after reading ur article ’m sure he is threat!
Every civilized Nation and peoples are worried because Nuclear Weapons are going in wrong hands.The influence of Taliban is on increase in Pakistan and now they are dictating their own terms in NWFP and Swat valley in Pakistan and succeeded in implementing Shariat {muslim} law in that region.
If the condition doesn’t get improve at the earliest by the interference of International community,the whole of the World has to suffer a very different kind of terrorist activities.
Dr. A.Q Khan is only the scapegoat to a big conspiracy. Any scientist of such calibre could be put to question if his nation’s political leadership is not that strong to defend his case in the diplomatic front.
Bad Luck to a scientist who made a poor nation proud and secure from the Indian agression. I can clearly remember the May days of 1998 when India had just tested its nuclear arsenal and was continuously threatening Pakistan and trying to psychologically disturb the leadership over this side of the border.
A.Q. Khan’s only bad luck is that his nation failed on the political and diplomatic front.
In India’s more than 5000 yr’s history,it’s never attacked any Country and those living in South Asia,always gets memorable welcome here,even inspite of so many terrorist attacks including Mumbai.
You have a reason to lose your sleep. Sorry Champs that no one can help you. When you think with a fixed and prejudiced mind then that s how you present yourself. Everyone knows that who is a threat to the world peace. Pakistan or India? It really made me laugh when I heard Vijay saying that in her 5000 years history, India never attacked any country. You don’t have the patience to live with your neighbours and then claim to be a peaceful nation. What blood shed you people are carrying out in Kashmir is known to the whole world.
AQ Khan may be a villain to you but for the majority of Pakistanis he is a hero and that’s the bottom line. Those who are not in a mood to own him can find themselves some other abode. That’s also a credit for him if you consider him a villain. After all what else he could be for you. Dude your time is over. Clock is ticking and count down has started.
who has made the life of Kashmiri Hindu’s miserable?
Who is creating bloodsheds in South Asia?
I’m not taliking about India alone.
Why the Muslims of Mumbai not providing even an inch of land for burying the body of Mumbai attackers in their graveyard?
Why the Muslim religious leaders including the Darool Uloom,Deoband criticizing the killing?
Are you justifying these acts?
Who killed the Geo TV reporter Moosa?
Do you think that the reporters,even in Pakistan will stop reporting for the truth?
Who first reported that Kasab is a Pakistani?
Asif,do something Good also for the sake of Humanity and for country.
