Pak gave Iran nuke aid: AQ

Washington, Sept. 9: Rogue Pakistani scientist A.Q. Khan, father of its nuclear weapons, now admits Islamabad had helped with Iran’s nuclear programme.
Mr Khan told Pakistan’s Aaj TV in an interview that he and other senior Pakistani officials guided Iran to a network of suppliers to advance its covert nuclear programme years ago.
They were also instrumental in Tehran’s covert purchases of equipment through Pakistan’s Dubai suppliers, he said, in the first admission of official Pakistani support for Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
This was done, he explained, so that the two countries could emerge as a "strong bloc", resist international pressure and "neutralise" Israel’s power.
Mr Khan said Sri Lankan Muslims based in Dubai were suppliers of nuclear material and equipment to Pakistan, Iran and Libya. "The Iranian officials would meet (suppliers) them in Dubai. We told them the suppliers were very reliable."
This will further expose Pakistani duplicity as Iran faces tougher international sanctions within weeks over its nuclear programme.
