It is amazing how things are panning out - gradually!!
After a statemenmt that AQK gave centrifuge to Iran, Pakistan is now giving so called used centrifuge parts to the UN inspectors.
These are not used centifuge parts but as expected a gradual dismantling of Pakistanâs nuclear facilities. 
Re: Pakistan's Nuclear Facilities being dismantled.
Well, this explains all the tongue-kissings b/w Pak army and India.
Re: Pakistan's Nuclear Facilities being dismantled.
Where does it say in the news report that Pakistan will give anything to the IAEA? It clearly says Pakistan has denied the report, which was floated by 'diplomats'. Pakistan is under no obligation to reduce its nuclear arsenal, or dismantle it. Pakistan is a non signatory to the NPT.
Re: Pakistanâs Nuclear Facilities being dismantled.
if they dont do it is dangerous in th elong run for pakistan and rest of the world
it is not just about india pakistan it is world peace. even threatieng india with nukes all th time is threat to islam itself just think about it as megatons will be

Breaking News: Indians with their dhotis jump in joy over nothing :D :D

Ques: You have said that Pakistan has not announced but the report out of Vienna say that Pakistan is sending Centrifuges. Will Pakistani policy allow sending such equipment for any investigation further?
Ans: I will repeat what I have already said that Pakistan has not been asked to send his centrifuges nor will Pakistan do so.

Re: Pakistanâs Nuclear Facilities being dismantled.
Nukes are dangerous in anyones hands, not just Pakistans. Besides, Pakistan has a strict control over its nukes, so no problems here.
Regarding the above news story, thats just a simple truth that has been dramatized in order to make Pakistan(an islamic country) look bad. The simply truth here is the one that has also been mentioned in this article in passing. That is the fact that Pakistan, India and Israel, being non signatories to the NPT, have a nuclear embargo against them. Because of that, they have to resort to the blackmarket in order to procure materials related to nukes, because not everything is available locally. India is in the same boat as Pakistan. So is Israel. Difference is, these two are not Islamic countries, and Pakistan is. Hence the stupid targeting.

What's so funny here.
Pakistan has always denied everything until America comes and puts the danda.
Wait for a few weeks and you'll hear Sheikh Rashid agree quietly. :)

**Sending of nuke centrifuges to Vienna for inspection under consideration: Musharraf **
ISLAMABAD: President General Pervez Musharraf said on Thursday that the matter of sending nuclear centrifuges to Vienna for inspection was under consideration and spelt out strategy for allaying International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) apprehensions that nuclear centrifuges have been allegedly transferred to some other countries from Pakistan.
âTo end the issue once and for all we want to send nuclear centrifuges to Vienna for inspection and the matter is under considerationâ, said President Musharraf in an interview to private TV channel AJ.
The president was of the view that controversy on alleged transfer of Pakistanâs nuclear centrifuges would end for good after inspection of nuclear centrifuges in Vienna.
The President said that IAEA during its investigations in Iran got suspicious as to how and where from Iran got hold of the nuclear centrifuges. The President said that this revelation of IAEA added new dimension to the probe against DR AQ Khan black market network.
Re: Pakistan's Nuclear Facilities being dismantled.
^ why can't they inspect it right where it is? Isn't kind of round about to dismantle and send to Austria that too?

I dont agree with the Indians here these days on Pak Affairs, but they certainly know how to carry out a debate in a better tone. Talwar et al, dont resort to their levels, you are better than that.

Pakistanâs nuclear dilemma
By A.R. Siddiqi
US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice at her joint press conference with Foreign Minister Khurshid Kasuri during her recent visit to Islamabad did not mince words about the threat potential of Dr A.Q. Khanâs nuclear âentrepreneur shipâ.
The Khan network, she said, represented a threat ânot just to the United States, but to Pakistan, to the region, to the international communityâ. A statement simple in verbiage but ominously loaded in intent.
Whereas Pakistan has cooperated with the US in breaking up the Khan network, the US also had a number of other countries cooperating with it on that front, Ms Rice said. She stressed her countryâs interest in knowing what happened so that âwe can safeguard against this kind of black market entrepreneurshipâŚâ
Ms Rice left no doubt that her country would not rest content until fully equipped with vital information leading to the origins of the Khan network and its international world-wide sweep.
Pakistan might well have gone out of its way to assuage US anxiety on that score, yet, apparently, not far enough to get down to the bottom of the case. In other words, to bring the culprit to book and punish him to meet the ends of American justice, ala Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay style.
One of the questions Pakistan must answer pertains to the mystifying ignorance or the deliberate connivance of authorities at the highest level when this illicit trafficking was going on for over a decade or so.
How could an operation as elaborate and world-wide happen right under the nose of Islamabad without a finger being pointed or a hand raised to stop the mess at the source?
Time magazine in a recent cover story âThe merchant of menaceâ, asked: How did A.Q. Khan become the worldâs most dangerous trafficker? Even as an essentially speculative story based on information provided by unnamed sources, it did inestimable damage to Pakistanâs image as a âresponsibleâ nuclear state nevertheless.
How can Pakistan boast of ensuring foolproof security of its nuclear assets with whole centrifuges and allied equipment being flown out of Islamabad airport either direct to the end-user or to Karachi for onward shipment to destination? This is a question calling for a categorical answer to satisfy the world community as well as our own public.
Time squarely accuses Abdul Qadeer Khan of âstealingâ nuclear designs from the Netherlands to help Pakistan build a bomb. He was then to create a vast network to trade nuclear secrets and âillicit technology across several continentsâ.
Just about three weeks after the publication of the Time canard, Information Minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmad appeared on TV (March 10) to confirm the substance of the story. Dr Khan, the information minister admitted in so many words, gave centrifuges to Iran in his âindividual capacityâ and the government of Pakistan had nothing to do with it.
What sort of government would that be to have allowed the head of its highest security institution to indulge in extended piracy and not know about it?
As if the bare acknowledgement of Dr Khanâs role as a private salesman of vital nuclear equipment was not enough, the information minister went on to say that the centrifuges (P-1 and P-2) provided by Dr Khan were âoutdatedâ. Dr Khan was thus acting not only as a private nuclear proliferator but also as a cheat.
The first to react to his information ministerâs gaffe was Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz himself. He said the minister was âmisquotedâ. Less than a week later, President Pervez Musharraf told the BBC in an interview that no nuclear material was transferred.
Investigation ârevealedâ that no ânuclear material has been given over, other than some centrifuge parts, centrifuge designs.â By implication nothing like enriched uranium or fissile nuclear material was included in Dr Khanâs bill of lading. It was the best the president could do in the face of distressing circumstances.
The somewhat baffling diversity of response to the A.Q. Khan affair has left the people at large wondering as to what exactly the truth might be. Even the Foreign Office versions about a ârequestâ from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) were tentative if not exactly evasive. According to the FO spokesman, âWe have not been asked to hand over any centrifuges to IAEA for inspection/verification) nor will Pakistan do so.â
**The question remains as to what exactly Pakistan has been asked for. Also for how much longer will we be able to withstand the pressures being brought to bear on us to throw our nuclear programme open (if not the facility itself) to international inspection? **

Re: Pakistan's Nuclear Facilities being dismantled.
well. first of all the way things have been turning out within this martial law regime are reli ridiculous.. a note from FO.. "we wont; do it"
sheikh sahib "well there is so much pressure we have to do it ..no choice :D"
its like 'Do watever u like and keep misguiding the ppl'
and since nobody cares so we have a very good governance where nobody knows wats going on.
its lies lies , denials and then an under hand deal..
remember the Pentagon posting the pakistani support for Afghanistan operations which was WITHDRAWN with request from Pakistani officials just because it told the truth . The losses that were incurred upon Pakistan due to their offerings to US.
Re: Pakistanâs Nuclear Facilities being dismantled.
That is exactly what is happening. Dismantling of Pakistani nuke facilities.
Pakistanis are just living in denial
