Musharraf: Khan Supplied "Probably A Dozen" Centrifuges To Pyongyang
New York (AFP) Sep 13, 2005 Pakistan's President Pervez Musharraf said in an interview published Tuesday that a Pakistani nuclear expert who ran a key proliferation ring exported "probably a dozen" centrifuges to North Korea to produce nuclear weapons fuel. Musharraf made the remark about Abdul Qadeer Khan to The New York Times just before the United States reopened talks, in Beijing, with North Korea about its nuclear program. "A dozen centrifuges would not be enough to produce a significant amount of bomb-grade uranium. But American officials say they would have enabled North Korea to copy the design and build their own," the Times reported. Musharraf, after two years of questioning Khan, told the US daily it had not been determined if Khan gave "the same bomb design to North Korea and Iran that investigators found in Libya, when it dismantled its uranium program," the report said. "I don't know," Musharraf was was quoted as saying. "Whether he passed these bomb designs to others - there is no such evidence."
