The Khan Network was a world wide consortium of Islamic countries and North Korea headed by Pakistan and It's father of their bomb, AQ Khan .
Basically a Islamic Manhattan Project to build an “Islamic Bomb” that would be shared by the Muslim world.
Iraq,Iran, Syria, Egypt, Pakistan, Turkey, North Korea, Libya, Indonesia, and a bunch of other countries were members.
There was a huge facility in Libya being built that Quaddafi surrendered and we shut down the day after Saddam was captured.
Saddam had outsourced his nuclear bomb projects to other countries, particularly Libya and Syria and set up facilities in those countries run by many expat Iraqi and Pakistani scientists.

This material probably came from Iraq or Russia (or from Russian supplied materials to Iraq) and is one of the reasons Russia is so interested in the civil war in Syria
My reply catch phrase to the morons spouting the whole "Bush Lied, People Died " mantra e has been - "Don't worry about finding Saddam's WMDs, eventually they will find us" .
Anyone who believes the "No WMDs in Iraq" mantra is too stupid to breathe. Unfortunately, there so many of these morons out there that their collective lack breath and exhaling of CO2 is singularly forestalling the onset of global warming./s
“There was a huge facility in Libya being built that Quaddafi surrendered and we shut down the day after Saddam was captured.”
And we repaid Qaddafi by helping the beasts tear him to shreds. Lesson: never give up your nukes because a nuclear country does not have the US giving air support to its rebels.
