The plans that they are referring to is the W88 design that Wen Ho Li downloaded. We can thank Hazel Oleary and Clinton for making them available in some hairbrained Kumbaya scheme that reads that the world will be safer if all the superpowers have equivalent ability to kill each other so nobody would hit the button. Nobody thought about the real crazies who would use it as soon as hitting their daughter.

Smugglers Gave Nuke Plans to Iran?

A news headline with a question mark in it isn't news. Die MSM, die.

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “An international smuggling ring that sold bomb-related parts to Libya, Iran and North Korea also managed to acquire blueprints for an advanced nuclear weapon, according to a draft report by a former top U.N. arms inspector that suggests the plans could have been shared secretly with any number of countries or rogue groups.

The drawings, discovered in 2006 on computers owned by Swiss businessmen, included essential details for building a compact nuclear device that could be fitted on a type of ballistic missile used by Iran and more than a dozen developing countries, the report states.”
