Deception Template AB035UMQ Deception Notes B-fomat 17/12/07 13:15 Page 1 NOTES 1: THE ANGRY YOUNG MAN 1 Former information minister Maulana K. Niazi writes of this letter in his Urdu book Aur Line Kat Gayee (Lahore, 1987), Chapter 9, ‘Unknown Facts about the Reprocessing Plant’. 2 Moments after the blast, the Foreign Ministry in New Delhi signalled its success with a prearranged telegram that enigmatically read: ‘The Buddha is smiling.’ 3 This episode was recounted by Agha Shahi, former foreign secretary of Pakistan, to the authors in an interview in Islamabad, April 2006. See also Dennis Kux, The United States and Pakistan 1947–2000 (Woodrow Wilson Center Press, Washington, DC, 2001), pp. 211–19. 4 The phrase ‘most allied ally’ comes from the autobiography of Pakistani dictator General Ayub Khan, Friends Not Masters (OUP, London, 1967). Pakistan had joined the South-East Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO) in 1954 and the Central Treaty Organization (CENTO) four years later. In 1959 it also signed the Mutual Security Pact with the US. For more details of this early relationship, see also Kux. 5 National Security Archive (NSA) 65/4205, NSA, George Washington University, Washington, DC. Letter from Thomas Hughes (INR) to CIA director W. F. Raborn, 21 July 1965. 6 The Islamic Republic was accused of preferring to attend conferences with the Chinese in April 1963, and in Moscow in April 1965, rather than those sponsored by the US. For more, see Kux. 7 In December 1970, East Pakistan’s first general election had seen the East Pakistanis overwhelmingly vote for autonomy, while in West Pakistan, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, a former foreign minister from the 1960s, won a surprise victory with his Pakistan People’s Party (PPP). However, the country’s president, General Yahya Khan, failed to honour either result, launching a brutal crackdown in East Pakistan with thousands shot dead in the streets. Islamabad had also launched air strikes into Indian territory in Kashmir. 8 Pakistanis like to say that they had an army before they had a country and at partition the Islamic Republic received 30 per cent of British India’s army, 40 per cent of its navy and 20 per cent of its air force. But all munitions and armaments factories were situated on the Indian side, leaving Pakistan struggling to build a defence 1 AB035UMQ Deception Notes B-fomat 17/12/07 13:15 Page 2 NOTES TO PAGES 14–20 industry. For many years it relied on the generosity of allies like the US. But Pakistan had stopped receiving military assistance in 1965 after President Lyndon Johnson, enraged that the Islamic Republic had deployed US-manufactured Sherman tanks against India in Kashmir, imposed an arms embargo. Even after India had launched its East Pakistan offensive in 1971, the US embargo held, leaving Pakistan incapable of holding the Indian advance. 9 This quote comes from Zulfikar Ali Bhutto , If I Am Assassinated (Classic Books, Lahore, 1994). 10 Author interview, Islamabad, April 2006.

Re: training in the US: for developing nations like Pakistan, by far the most significant aspect of Atoms for Peace was the access it gave scientists to the US Department of Energy laboratories at Argonne, Illinois, founded by the University of Chicago in 1946 to conduct atomic research. It constituted the West’s most advanced nuclear research facility, with supercomputer technology and a working accelerator where atomic particles were bombarded against each other in order to study fission. 25 Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, The Myth of Independence (OUP, Karachi, 1969), p. 153. 26 In November 1973 the nawab would be appointed chief minister of the Punjab. 27 Dr Samar Mubarakmand, ‘A Science Odyssey’, Khwarzimic Science Society speech, 30 November 1998.

Q. Khan and the Islamic Bomb (Hurmat Publications, Islamabad, 1992), p. 129. 30 Bashiruddin was named by President George W. Bush as a terrorist in a speech in October 2003, when the US accused him and others of meeting Osama bin Laden to discuss building a nuclear bomb for al-Qaeda. 31 See Chapter 2. 2 AB035UMQ Deception Notes B-fomat 17/12/07 13:15 Page 3 NOTES TO PAGES 20–25 32 Bhutto visited Iran, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Turkey, Syria, Morocco, Egypt, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya and China. 33 This phrase, favoured by Bhutto for the Western powers, is referred to in Kux. 34 See Kux for more on this promotional tour. 35 For full details on Pakistan’s failed attempt to purchase a reprocessing plant from France, see Weissman and Krosney. 36 Niazi recalled: ‘The prime minister sent instructions in August 1974 to Dr Qadeer that without operating a doubt in the mind of anybody, he should take leave in the normal course and come to Pakistan and meet [Bhutto’s] military secretary, Brigadier Imtiaz Ahmed.’ 37 Weissman and Krosney. 38 Author interviews with Dr Shafiq ur-Rehman, Islamabad, April 2006. 39 There was a commander called General Malik Haji Bahbal, but his ancestry recorded no connection to Khan.

Lerch had been charged in the 1980s, having admitted to shipping valves, vacuum pumps and a gas purification system to Pakistan through his 3 AB035UMQ Deception Notes B-fomat 17/12/07 13:15 Page 4 NOTES TO PAGES 25–7 employer Leybold Heraeus, although he was not convicted. In 1987 the German authorities once again investigated Lerch’s business links to Pakistan, but by then he had moved to Switzerland, which declined to extradite him on the grounds that the statute of limitations had passed. When he was interrogated in 2005 in connection with the Mannheim trial he claimed that he was unable to recall whether he had ever seen Khan again after leaving Leybold Heraeus in 1985.

Lerch’s name has repeatedly come up in evidence prepared for the forthcoming trial in South Africa of Daniel Geiges and Gerhard Wisser at the Pretoria High Court, where they are charged under the Non-Proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction Act and the Nuclear Energy Act of activities connected to the A. Q. Khan network. In several instances Lerch’s name appeared on documentation connected to the manufacture of a centrifuge cascade ordered by an associate of A. Q. Khan’s on behalf of Libya. At the time of writing this trial was pending. See also Coll. 58 Mebus died of natural causes in 1992. 59 Migule would later tell a court in Germany, where he was prosecuted for violating foreign trade laws, that he had ‘built and delivered to Pakistan a laboratory with test equipment, test devices, which, in my opinion, has nothing to do with nuclear bombs’.

  • 10 Pakistan's Nuclear Program
    10 PAKISTAN’S NUCLEAR PROGRAM Laying the groundwork for impunity C. Christine Fair Contemporary analysts of Pakistan’s nuclear program speciously assert that Pakistan began acquiring a nuclear weapons capability after the 1971 war with India in which Pakistan was vivisected. In this conventional account, India’s 1974 nuclear tests gave Pakistan further impetus for its program.1 In fact, Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, Pakistan’s first popularly elected prime minister, ini- tiated the program in the late 1960s despite considerable opposition from Pakistan’s first military dictator General Ayub Khan (henceforth Ayub). Bhutto presciently began arguing for a nuclear weapons program as early as 1964 when China detonated its nuclear devices at Lop Nor and secured its position as a permanent nuclear weapons state under the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT). Considering China’s test and its defeat of India in the 1962 Sino–Indian war, Bhutto reasoned that India, too, would want to develop a nuclear weapon. He also knew that Pakistan’s civilian nuclear program was far behind India’s, which predated independence in 1947. Notwithstanding these arguments, Ayub opposed acquiring a nuclear weapon both because he believed it would be an expensive misadventure and because he worried that doing so would strain Pakistan’s western alliances, formalized through the Central Treaty Organization (CENTO) and the South-East Asia Treaty Organization (SEATO). Ayub also thought Pakistan would be able to buy a nuclear weapon “off the shelf” from one of its allies if India acquired one first.2 With the army opposition obstructing him, Bhutto was unable to make any significant nuclear headway until 1972, when Pakistan’s army lay in disgrace after losing East Pakistan in its 1971 war with India.

First, in over fifty years, the United States and Pakistan have never been able to align their national security objectives except partially and temporarily. Pakistan’s central goal has been to gain U.S. support to bolster its security against India, whereas the United States has tended to view the relationship from the perspective of its global security interests. Second, U.S. nuclear nonproliferation objectives towards Pakistan (and India) repeatedly have been subordinated to other U.S. goals. During the 1980s, Pakistan successfully exploited its importance as a conduit for aid to the anti-Soviet Afghan mujahidin to deter the application of U.S.

In undivided India they had been his flight commanders in the Royal Indian Air Force. They and my father had fought in World War II together, flying Hurricanes and Spitfires over Burma and also after the war. Both these officers later went on to head the Pakistan Air Force.
