CIA 'let atomic expert Khan go'
Pakistani nuclear expert AQ Khan was not arrested when living in the Netherlands as the CIA was monitoring him, an ex-Dutch prime minister says.
Ruud Lubbers said the CIA had asked the Netherlands in 1975 not to prosecute Abdul Qadeer Khan, who is now dubbed the father of Pakistan's atom bomb.

Mr Khan admitted last year that he had leaked nuclear secrets to North Korea, Libya and Iran.

He came under suspicion while working for a Dutch uranium firm, Urenco.

He has been under close guard at his home in Islamabad since his public confession.

According to Mr Lubbers, US intelligence wanted to find out more about Mr Khan's contacts while he was working as an engineer at the top secret Dutch uranium enrichment plant at Almelo.

"The Americans wished to follow and watch Khan to get more information," he told Dutch radio.

Mr Khan returned to Pakistan in 1976 to set up the country's nuclear weapons programme.

He was convicted in absentia of nuclear spying in the Netherlands in 1983, but the conviction was overturned on a technicality.

King Tech Quadafi:
dont forghet the israelis

Don Rizzle:
well i think the france and norway were more involved in the israeli program and it recently come to light that britain supplied heavy water or whateva its called however it was civil servants that did this and ministers were not involved, which i believe because it would have totally gone against british foreign policy and the american defence secretary of the time has recently said he was hugely suprised with the revation because they weren't informed and they had refused to do this themselves... america didn't really get involved until after they had nuclear capabilities
