Interesting article in light of recent news from Pakistan...

After retirement, Bashiruddin had formed an NGO called Ummah Tameer-e-Nau (Reconstruction of the Muslim Ummah). This NGO was affiliated to the Al Rasheed Trust, an organisation banned for its links with Al-Qaeda network. The NGO was one of the few allowed by Mullah Muhammad Omar to carry out relief work in Afghanistan.

There's no question that the Pakistanis have been enagaged in dirty business for the last two decades (BCCI, heroin, the Taliban, nuclear smuggling).

And this is not the first time their nuclear scientists have been caught in nefarious activities; Kahn himself (founder of the program) was arrested in the Netherlands more than 20 years ago buying nuclear materials. Several scientists were arrested right after we engaged in Afghanistan, due to materials found in al Qaeda offices.

I consider the threat from Pakistan-supplied nuclear materials to be imminent and serious. Fair warning: they have helped al Qaeda with nukes, to what extent we don't know, and they must be held responsible.
