The father of the "Islamic Bomb" alleges that the Pakistani military, then under the command of Pervez Musharraf, supervised a flight of nuclear centrifuges to North Korea in 2000. From BBC News:
"Disgraced scientist AQ Khan has said that Pakistan transported nuclear material to North Korea with the full knowledge of the country's army.
At the time President Pervez Musharraf was head of the army.
Dr Khan said that uranium enrichment equipment was sent in a North Korean plane loaded under the supervision of Pakistani security officials.
The BBC's Barbara Plett, in Islamabad, says that Dr Khan's latest claims contradict a public confession he made in 2004 that he was solely responsible for exporting nuclear technology to Iran, North Korea and Libya.
Our correspondent says that the comments are the most controversial accusation made by Dr Khan since he recently began defending himself in statements to the media.
His comments are also at variance with the oft-stated line of the Pakistani government that neither it nor the army had any knowledge of the exports."
I like the cartoon. Apparently Dr. Khan can tell the truth now since Musharaf cannot hang him so easily as the civilian government is breathing at Musharaf's neck.
