Khan offered Assad nukes

Syrian dictator Bashar Assad announced that a while ago he turned down an offer from A.Q.Khan to buy some of the Pakistani nuclear bombs. Assad’s statement is highly credible as it implicates Pakistan in the worst type of nuclear proliferation. Assad disclosed so sensitive information about a major Muslim ally probably on request of Musharaff. Pakistan’s president wants to show the world (correctly) that short of his undemocratic rule, Pakistani Islamists would quickly sell the 50-something Pakistani nuclear bombs.
A.Q.Khan ran the Pakistani nuclear program as his private venture, and sold nuclear technologies to Iran, North Korea, Libya, and other countries at his personal discretion, with payments accumulating in his bank accounts. It is widely believed that Pakistan delivered several nuclear warheads to Saudi Arabia in the payoff for Saudi financing of the Pakistani nuclear program. The US sold Saudi Arabia advanced fighter jets capable of delivering nuclear warheads into Israel.
