Pakistani sources claim that there has been another bombshell in the admissions of guilt made by Khan's colleagues and juniors, who are still under custody and questioning. They are reported to have stated that during his over 40 visits to Dubai in the last three years, he had met Iraqi intelligence officials who sought his help in having some of the weapons of mass destruction (WMD) material of Iraq airlifted from Syria to Pakistan for being kept in safe custody there to prevent their falling into the hands of the UN inspectors. Khan allegedly agreed to their request. According to them, in October,2002, Khan had a Pakistani aircraft, which had gone to Iran to deliver some equipment, stop in a Syrian airport on its way back . It picked up the Iraqi WMD "material" and brought it to Pakistan for safe custody on behalf of Iraq. It is not clear what did they mean by material---only documents or something more?

October 2002 - the same time the first reports of the NorthKorean angle came to light.

"
The Washington Post said that as a kind of insurance policy to obtain pardon for his past actions of leaking nuclear know-how to Iran, Libya and North Korea, Khan had some weeks ago provided his daughter Dina, who lives in Baghdad, with evidence that the military knew of his nuclear dealings abroad. "

I don't see where the WashPost itself said Dina lived in Baghdad.

Is the word "material" ever use to refer to "documents" in that context? It doesn't seem to me to be a very good fit, but then again I have no knowledge of their nomenclature.
