Defence Minister Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso
Abuja, Nigeria

Confidential Business Proposal

Dear Minister Kwankwaso,

Having consulted with my colleagues and based on the information gathered from the Pakistan Chambers Of Commerce And Industry, I have the privilege to request for your assistance to transfer the sum of $47,500,000.00 (forty seven million, five hundred thousand United States dollars) into your accounts. The above sum resulted from an over-invoiced contract with the North Korean Defence Ministry, executed commissioned and paid for about five years (5) ago by a Pakistani contractor. This action was however intentional and since then the fund has been in a suspense account at The Central Bank Of Pakistan Quetta Bank.

We are now ready to transfer the fund overseas and that is where you come in. It is important to inform you that as military officials, we are forbidden to operate a foreign account; that is why we require your assistance. The total sum will be shared as follows: 70% for us, 25% for you and 5% for local and international expenses incident to the transfer.

The transfer is risk free on both sides. I am an board member with the Pakistani National Nuclear Corporation (NNPC). And so we will expediate this transaction by presenting you with fictitious documents for the building of various nuclear weapons and programs. Since there is no problem with Pakistan's reputation in the sale of such plans, the documents will appear quite legitimate to your own banking authorities.

If you find this proposal acceptable, we shall require the following documents:

(a) your ministry's name, telephone, account and fax numbers.

(b) both your official and your private telephone and fax numbers -- for confidentiality and easy communication.

(c) your letter-headed approval paper stamped and signed.

Alternatively we will furnish you with the text of what to type into your letter-headed paper, along with a breakdown explaining, comprehensively what we require of you. The business will take us thirty (30) working days to accomplish.

Please reply urgently.

Best regards

General Muhammad Aziz Khan
Chairman Of Joint Chiefs Of Staff
Islamabad, Pakistan

The headline seems to indicate "nukes" as in nuclear weapons but the article just says "nuclear power."

A big difference in subtle wording... bad writing on the part of the author.

Mr president, are you paying attention?
Isn't one "afghanistan" per lifetime enough?

Why are you spending my tax dollars on a duplicitous, murdering country which needs a little pest control? Didn't you notice it didn't work the last time?

and the time before that... and the...

Sounds like someone wants Africa's population reduced by a few hundred million.

What the hell were those posts supposed to mean? Even posting them twice didn't help them make any sense.

The US press was awash with stories most unflattering. Arnaud Borchgrave of the disreputable Washington Times and the reputable United Press wrote of Gen Aziz Khan, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, allegedly calling America the “number 1 enemy of Muslims”

Khan is an extremely common surname in Asia. From the dictionary: Khan (n.) A king; a prince; a chief; a governor; -- so called among the Tartars, Turks, and Persians, and in countries now or formerly governed by them.

Perhaps the most famous Khan in history was Jenghiz Khan, the Mongol emperor whose Goldern Horde conquered most of Asia.
