Pakistan gave North Korea centrifuges in exchange for missiles

Benazir signed missile deal with N Korea: Newsweek

NEW YORK: Former prime minister Benazir Bhutto signed a missile development deal with North Korea after the end of the Cold War, according to American magazine Newsweek. Michael Harness writes that the then prime minister looked to North Korea for missiles because of US sanctions on Pakistan. Under the deal, Pakistan imported Korean missiles, while North Korea received centrifuge technology. Newsweek claims that scientist Dr Abdul Qadeer Khan visited North Korea 13 times, while Korean scientists were given nuclear briefings at Kahuta Research Laboratories. He also cites unnamed Pakistani officials as stating these visits occurred with the full knowledge and consent of the military. daily times monitor
