APRIL 2001 : (PAKISTAN : PRESIDENT MUSHARRAF FORCIBLY RETIRES ATOMIC SCIENTIST ABDUL QADEER KHAN & KHAN'S RIVAL, SAMAR MUBARAKMAND) Khan’s fall from grace under the military dispensation is traced by some experts to relentless American pressure that first resulted in Gen. Musharraf’s decision to forcibly retire him on his 65th birthday in April 2001, against his own wishes. Musharraf also retired Khan's main rival, Samar Mubarakmand, at the same time.
According to British writer Simon Henderson, who has extensively chronicled Pakistan’s nuclear shenanigans, American gripe against Khan goes back to the 1980s, when the nuclear scientist began putting his country on the nuclear map. - "Pakistan nuclear leak zeroes in on Dr Khan," by CHIDANAND RAJGHATTA , The Times of India , January 20 2004

JANUARY 20?, 2004 Monday : (STOLEN DUTCH CENTRIFUGE TECHNOLOGY NOT ONLY WENT TO IRAN & PAKISTAN, IT MAY ALSO HAVE BEEN TRANSFERRED LIBYA & NORTH KOREA BY PAKISTANI ABDUL QADEER KHAN, WHO HAD WORKED AT DUTCH COMPANY URENCO) Two government ministers in the Netherlands acknowledged Monday that highly sensitive nuclear technology developed by a Dutch company may have been transferred to Libya and North Korea along with Iran and Pakistan. The disclosure in Parliament in Amsterdam marked the first public confirmation of assertions that centrifuge technology for enriching uranium apparently found its way to Libya and North Korea. It was already known that Pakistan and Iran had the technology.
The Dutch officials, Foreign Minister Bernard Bot and Economic Affairs Minister Laurens-Jan Brinkhorst, said it was not clear how the potentially arms-related technology had been transferred. But diplomats elsewhere said the public comments were likely to increase pressure on Pakistan, which has already been linked to Iran's capability and is suspected of providing the technology to North Korea and Libya.
U.S. officials have long suspected that Abdul Qadeer Khan, who led the development of Pakistan's atomic bomb, stole the centrifuge secrets in the 1970s while working for the Dutch company Urenco. - Source : Excerpted - click for full article Source: http://www.sltrib.com/2004/Jan/01202004/nation_w/130789.asp- "Dutch firm likely source of nuke info," LA Times via The Salt Lake Tribune, January 20 2004
