ABU DHABI [MENL] -- Iran was said to have acquired a nuclear bomb.
A leading U.S. nuclear proliferation expert said Teheran obtained an atomic bomb about a decade ago from the nuclear black market. The expert said Iran sought to produce additional nuclear weapons through technology from Pakistan and other countries.
"The one functional device Iran has," Mansoor Ijaz, a U.S. nuclear scientist, said, "is the result of clandestine transfers from Pakistan's rogue black market nuclear scientist, Abdul Qadeer Khan, who sold the Iranians antiquated but highly effective Chinese bomb designs and parts, including spherical shell casings, spherical Krytron detonation switches and empirical software testing modules."
On Saturday, Iran threatened to launch a missile strike against the West. The commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Maj. Gen. Rahim Safavi, said Teheran could retaliate with the Shihab-3 intermediate-range missile against what he termed was British efforts to foment unrest in western Iran.
and many variant reposts.
Since when?
Kinda figured...
Has Mansoor been right about much at all? He used to be a Fox expert until he kept getting things wrong.
Since when?
From the Fox News website...
Ijaz received his Bachelor’s degree magna cum laude in Physics from the University of Virginia and received his Master of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Does any of that spell "nuclear scientist?"
Online courses?
IIRC Ijaz is a businessman"
From WikiPedia in part:
Mansoor Ijaz is founder and chairman of Crescent Investment Management LLC (CIM), a New York investment partnership since 1990 that includes among others Lt Gen James Alan Abrahamson (USAF Ret), former director of President Reagan's Strategic Defense Initiative and the renowned German architect Joachim Hauser. Crescent specializes in the use of quantitative modeling techniques to manage investment portfolios.
The group’s new publicly listed technology fund, Crescent Technology Ventures PLC (CTV)[[1]], is funding and developing the next generation of technologies focused on protecting vital infrastructure and providing for security against a spectrum of terrorist threats. The fund is preparing investments in five primary areas of concern: Internet and cyber-security, air and seaport cargo container security, stratospheric telecommunications platforms and alternative energy development. Former CIA Director Amb R James Woolsey serves as chairman of CTV’s Board of Advisers. Lt Gen Thomas McInerney (USAF Ret) serves as chairman of CTV’s Board of Directors. Ijaz is CTV’s chief executive.
That was my thought. Isn't he an import dealer?
Maybe he knows something...
BS, if they had one they'd used it by now. These rodents have no impulse control.
Mansoor Ijaz, John Loftus, Dick Morris-often wrong, but never in doubt. - Tom
Lie to the infidels. Its their motto from the prophet of pigs!
Maybe they want the tech to make one themselves and be able "mass" produce it.
I thought Mansoor Ijaz was a broker or something..that did work for Fox News...
Nuclear scientist???
Maybe Ijaz was a nuclear scientist when in the middle east...and kept it secret...and pretended to be a broker???
BTW...I think that Zawahiri releasing that video today...talking about the strike in Pakistan ... makes me think more than before that Bin Ladin must be dead...
otherwise, why wouldn't HE have been on tape...after all..HE is the one we wanted mostly.
Is that a rug?
