Malaysian PM's son linked to proliferator (Nuclear weapons)
Abdullah Ahmad Badawi's only son shared a boardroom with Buhary Syed Abu Tahir, who US President Bush called a major cog in the nuclear-black-market machine

AP , KUALA LUMPUR
Thursday, Feb 19, 2004,Page 5

A Sri Lankan accused of being the chief financial officer for an international nuclear black market sat on the board of a company owned by the Malaysian prime minister's only son, according to documents obtained by The Associated Press.

The connection indicates that alleged senior members of the network established by Abdul Qadeer Khan, the father of Pakistan's nuclear bomb, were able to woo partners in the highest levels of society.

In the Malaysian case, the partners said they had no idea deals were being made to fashion parts that could be used to make nuclear weapons.
