Lisbon, March 4

The United States is convinced that Pakistan's top nuclear scientist Abdul Qadeer Khan sold nuclear secrets to Iran, Libya and North Korea without the approval of top government officials in the country, a top US arms control official said on Thursday.

"We have no reason to believe that President Pervez Musharraf or the top echelons of the Pakistani government were in any way involved with Khan," US Undersecretary of State John Bolton told reporters in Lisbon where he is taking part in a two-day security conference.

"There may well be officials in the Pakistani government, military people, scientists, who were part of his network," he added.

"But I distinguish between that and sanctioned approval, complicity, by the top levels of the Pakistani government as to which we have no evidence."

WEll, it's meant for public consumption. But fools no one. This was an official state sanctioned proliferation for profit Paki establishment, thru civilian PM's and military dictators.

That is an excellent example why we can't trust whose running the Pakistani government. A lot of our aid and other instances might fall into the wrong hands very easily. Militant Islam is rampant there and there might even be a power struggle seeking to get rid of Musharaf.
