Pakistani scientist Dr Abdul Qadeer Khan sold Iran nuclear centrifuge parts worth $3 million in the 1990s, Malaysian police said today.
Police said Sri Lankan B.S.A. Tahir, who is suspected of helping Dr Khan sell illicit nuclear technology, told them his involvement with the man - dubbed the father of Pakistan's nuclear bomb - began some time in 1994 or 1995.
"B.S.A. Tahir organised the transshipment of the two containers from Dubai to Iran using a merchant ship owned by a company in Iran," police reported.
