Arms Control and Dr. A. Q. Khan

“The gravest danger to freedom lies at the crossroads of radicalism and technology. When the spread of chemical and biological and nuclear weapons, along with ballistic missile technology—when that occurs, even weak states and small groups could attain a catastrophic power to strike great nations. Our enemies have declared this very intention, and have been caught seeking these terrible weapons. They want the capability to blackmail us, or to harm us, or to harm our friends—and we will oppose them with all our power.”

Links between Dr. Khan and Western intelligent agencies, including the CIA.

According to an exclusive report published by an Indian newspapers "Tribune", In an interview to a Dutch radio, VPRO Argos Radio on August 9, 2005, Dr Lubbers, the FORMER Dutch Prime Minister revealed that Dr Khan was arrested in 1975 for espionage and in 1988 for illegal entry into Holland. On both occasions he was allowed to go scot-free because of the CIA's intervention.

In 1992, according to Dr Lubbers, Dr Khan wanted to visit Holland to see his ailing father-in-law (his wife is a Dutch). While he was for refusing visa to Dr Khan, the case for visa was sponsored by no less a person than the head of the Dutch secret service, BVD, Arthur Dokters Van Leeuwen. A BVD person received Dr Khan on his arrival at Schipol airport. The BVD was presumably acting under instructions from American intelligence agencies.

Dr Lubbers said: "If you were to study the archives, you would find that the American intelligence agencies -- I am absolutely certain of it -- kept a record of how closely they watched the man and what he was upto, etc. They thought as such they were doing a terrific job."
