Pakistan's disgraced nuclear scientist Abdul Qadeer Khan told investigators that contaminated and used centrifuges found in Iran by the U.N. nuclear watchdog in 2003 were sold by his laboratory as scrap to a Karachi-based company, according to a friend of Khan.
The friend, who asked not to be named, said Khan told him that he told investigators in 2003-2004 that the used centrifuges were sold as scrap to ALCOP when first generation P-1 centrifuges developed by him were replaced with a bigger P-2 centrifuge machine. |
