ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (AP) - The father of Pakistan's nuclear weapons program and a top aide had black market contacts that supplied sensitive technology to Iran and Libya, and both have failed to account for funds in their bank accounts, intelligence officials told The Associated Press on Wednesday.
Also, a former army chief told AP the country's nuclear program relied on clandestine suppliers and scientists may have shared those contacts.

Under suspicion are Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan, long revered as a national hero, and Dr. Mohammed Farooq, former director-general of a key nuclear facility, said the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

"These are the two people who had links and contacts with those who have been supplying many things to those countries who wanted to become nuclear powers," one official said.

Another intelligence official said Khan had acknowledged his contacts with black market dealers. Both Khan and his former aide deny they profited or played any role in supplying technology to either Iran or Libya.

We're afraid Musharraf will die before the US
captures OBL.

From the beginning 9/11/01 this Pakistani Weblogger-I'll
have to search for his name-has stated that Pakistan will have to be conquered, not Afghanistan.
