Chinese WMD documents found in Libya Pakistan's ambassador to the United States said last week he could not explain the presence of Chinese-language documents found in Libya that show how to make small nuclear warheads for missiles. The documents were found during Libya's nuclear disarmament effort. They were believed to have been supplied to Libya by the covert nuclear supplier network headed by Abdul Qadeer Khan. Jehangir Karamat, the Pakistani ambassador to the United States, shown presenting his credentials in the Oval Office. Jehangir Karamat, the Pakistani ambassador, said Pakistan's nuclear program is "compartmented" to prevent sensitive information from being leaked. "The only person who knows network was Dr. Khan himself. The others were soldiers. He was the man who had knowledge," Karamat said. Karamat told The Washington Times that Khan "may have obtained something and passed it on, but I don't think an actual, workable design capable of miniaturization for use in today's environment was ever passed on to Libya." He noted that Khan was basically a metallurgist who sold centrifuge designs that are used to enrich uranium. "Fortunately for us the other facets of the program were not under his control," Karamat said. "They were separated and compartmented." Karamat said the elements of the nuclear program did not cooperate. "Also, fortunately for us, there wasn't harmony among the people involved in these programs," he said. "There was a lot of personal discord there." The Pakistani nuclear program had several different components, including a program for raw materials, another for purification and a third that conducted conversion and enrichment. Warhead manufacturing was a fourth part and was not contained in the component that Khan was mainly involved with, the uranium conversion and enrichment, Karamat said. ------------------------ Yahoo!
