Nuke Plans On Black Market!?
OK, we are supposed to put our faith and hope (and security of our family) into a failed and inept UN process for controlling access to nuclear bomb information? I think not! Talk about closing the barn door after the horses have escaped! What is this? The AQ network was supposed to have been disabled months ago!
Electronic drawings that give comprehensive details of how to build and test equipment essential for making nuclear bombs have vanished and could be put up for sale on the international black market, according to UN investigators.
The blueprints, running to hundreds of pages, show how to make centrifuges for enriching uranium. In addition, the investigators have been unable to trace key components for uranium centrifuge rigs and fear that drawings for a nuclear warhead have been secreted away and could be for sale.
Inspectors at the UN’s nuclear authority, the International Atomic Energy Agency, have been investigating the worst nuclear smuggling racket ever uncovered, headed by the Pakistani scientist Abdul Qadeer Khan. The operation was discovered two years ago to be selling sensitive nuclear technology to Libya and Iran.
A senior official said several sets of blueprints for uranium centrifuges – the so-called P-1 and more advanced P-2 systems which were peddled by the Khan network – have gone missing.
Two years and now they learn critical information is missing? How do we fire these clowns?
