The Nuclear Bird Talks, Cant Fly
Dr. AQ Khan is a well known nuclear scientist of Pakistan. He is the main man behind Pakistan’s nuclear technology. But his intelligence did him more harm than good. In 2004, he admitted transporting the technology to nations like Iran, Libya and North Korea. All which are know to be enemies of the America.
He was later put on house arrest in Islamabad. He was not allowed to talk to the media because Pakistan considered it their problem. Pervez Musharraf thought it was best if the matter was dealt within the nation. Any interference from international agencies could stir problems in the wrong direction.
But after the arrival of the new government, Mr Khan is not a caged bird anymore. He can sing and stretch his wings. Too bad he still cant fly. He changed his description of the events that lead to conclusion of other ” potentially” dangerous countries like Iran to gain the mother of all weapons. His new confession shows him to be the victim. According to AQ Khan, the army had full knowledge of the nuclear proliferation. He was persuaded into taking all responsibility because the army thought it would be in favour of national interest.
The Pakistani media are implying that the western media are trying to backfire with the help of accusations. What will happen to this bird? For now, its wings are clipped to the breaking point. The army that once protected him are now calling him a liar. The western world are not happy with his lies as well. What will he do?
