By Paul Watson and Mubashir Zaidi | Los Angeles Times Abdul Qadeer Khan, the father of Pakistans atomic bomb, for illegally passing nuclear secrets to Iran, Libya and North Korea. In announcing his action to reporters, Musharraf insisted that Pakistans military was not involved in the black-market sales. He also stressed that his nations atomic efforts Pakistan is the only nuclear-armed Muslim country would continue. I will ensure that there will be no rollback of our nuclear program, Musharraf said. Khan, a metallurgist who became a national idol by leading a top-secret program to build Pakistans atomic bomb, confessed in a televised address Wednesday to transferring nuclear technology. He also petitioned Musharraf for mercy. Last month, Musharraf vowed to treat with an iron hand anyone found guilty of spreading nuclear weapons technology. But faced with enormous public support for Khan and the possibility that a trial could lead to further embarrassment for Pakistan, Musharraf softened his stance. I, as president of Pakistan, have decided to pardon Dr. A.Q. Khan, who is our national hero but has made mistakes, which is unfortunate, Musharraf told Pakistani journalists. He provided no details of Khans pardon, such as whether the scientist would have to give up any of the millions of dollars he was reported to have received for selling the technology. However, Khan will no longer be allowed to travel abroad, Musharraf said. Many analysts had predicted that Khan would escape punishment because of his popularity and because he could implicate senior military officers in the transfers. Musharraf insisted that Khan had acted without government approval. We have questioned all the military personnel, including three former army chiefs and former presidents, but found that they were not involved in the nuclear proliferation, and this was done by Dr. Khan and his associates, Musharraf said in his briefing. In his confession, Khan made no mention of payment for the nuclear leaks and said vaguely that his activities were based in good faith. Musharraf, dressed in camouflage fatigues, said Khan and those who helped ISLAMABAD, Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf on Thursday pardoned Musharraf Pardons National Heros Nuclear Leaks him were motivated by money, obviously. Thats the reality. Musharraf disclosed for the first time Thursday that the militarys Inter- Services Intelligence agency began investigating suspected leaks of nuclear arms technology in early 2001, during which the ISI raided a plane bound for North Korea. Musharraf said the plane was chartered by Khan Research Laboratories, which Khan headed. He said ISI agents found nothing on board, but he nonetheless removed Khan as chairman of the KRL weapons facility in March of that year, immediately after the raid. USS. intelligence sources have reported that Pakistanis aided North Koreas nuclear weapons program in exchange for missile technology. As recently as 2002, U.S. satellites detected Pakistani military transport aircraft in North Korea, officials have said. Pakistans government says no leaks of nuclear technology occurred after February 2000, when Musharraf formed the National Command Authority, a group of military commanders, Cabinet ministers and government officials that controls the countrys nuclear weapons. Pakistani officials made the ISIs current investigation public in November after U.N. inspectors uncovered evidence of Pakistani involvement in Irans nuclear program. Musharraf told reporters Thursday that he had tried to shield Khan, but added: You cannot shield a hero and damage the nation. No decision has been made on the fate of at least six other scientists still in detention, Musharraf said. They include Mohammed Farooq, once Khans closest aide as head of overseas procurement for the nuclear program. At least two retired army brigadiers responsible for security at KRL and a retired major in charge of maintenance and construction at the facility also have been detained for questioning. Khans admission of responsibility did not allay concerns at the International Atomic Energy Agency or among diplomats in Vienna, Austria, where the watchdog agency is based. *Dr. Khan was not working alone, Mohamed E!Baradei, director- general of the IAEA, told reporters. Dr. Khan is the tip of the iceberg for us.* 2004 1A TIMES (Times staff writer Watson reported from New Delhi and special correspondent Zaidi from Islamabad. Times staff writer Douglas Frantz in Vienna contributed to this report.) Iraqi Women Protest Councils Endorsement of Sharia By Pamela Constable | The Washington Post BAGHDAD, Iraq - For the past four decades, Iraqi women have enjoyed some of the most modern legal protections in the Muslim world, under a civil code that prohibits marriage below the age of 18, arbitrary divorce and male favoritism in child custody and property inheritance disputes. Saddam Husseins dictatorship did not touch those rights. But the U.S.- backed Iraqi Governing Council has voted to wipe them out, ordering in late _ December that family laws shall be canceled and such issues placed under the jurisdiction of strict Islamic legal doctrine known as sharia. This week, outraged Iraqi womenfrom judges to Cabinet ministers denounced the decision in street protests and at conferences, saying it would set back their legal status by centuries and could unleash emotional clashes among various Islamic strains that have differing rules for marriage, divorce and other family issues. This will send us home and shut the door, just like what happened to women in Afghanistan, said Amira Hassan Abdullah, a Kurdish lawyer who spoke at a protest meeting Thursday. Some Islamic wa, she noted, allow men to divorce their wives on the spot. The old law wasnt perfect, but this one would make Iraq a jungle, she said. Iraqi women will accept it over their dead bodies. The order, narrowly approved by the 25-member council in a closed-door session Dec. 29, was reportedly sponsored by conservative Shiite members. The order is now being opposed by several liberal members as well as by senior women in the Iraqi government. The councils decisions must be approved by L. Paul Bremer, the chief U.S. administrator in Iraq, and aides said unofficially that his imprimatur for this change was unlikely. But experts here said that once U.S. officials turn over political power to Iraqis at the end of June, conservative forces could press ahead with their agenda to make sharia the supreme law. Spokesmen for Bremer did not respond to requests for comment Thursday. It was the secret way this was done that is such a shock, said Nasreen Barawi, a woman who is Iraqs minister for social welfare and public service. Iraq is a multiethnic society with many different religious schools. Such a sweeping decision should be made over time, with an opportunity for public dialogue. There is no immediate threat of the decision becoming law, Barawi said, but after June 30, who knows what can happen? In interviews at several meetings and protests, women noted that even during the politically repressive Saddam era, women had been allowed to assume a far more modern role than in many other Muslim countries and had been shielded from some of the more egregiously unfair nl eae of Islam advocated by conservative, male-run Muslim groups. Once Saddam was toppled, several women noted way, they hoped the new _ authorities would further liberalize family law. Instead, in the process of wiping old laws off the books, they said, Islamic conservatives on the Governing Council are trying to impose retrograde views of women on a chaotic postwar society. Although it remained unclear which members of the council had promoted _ the shift of family issues from civil to religious jurisprudence, the decision was made and formalized while Abdul Aziz Hakim, a Shiite Muslim who heads the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq, was chairing the council under a Totating leadership system. This week, several moderate council members spoke strongly against the decision in public forums, calling it a threat to both civilized progress and national unity. Nasir Chaderchi, a lawyer and council member who heads the National Democratic Party, criticized the councils action at a professional womens meeting Thursday. We dont want to be isolated from modern developments, Chaderchi told the gathering of the Iraqi Independent Womens Group. What hurts most is that the law of the tyrant Saddam was more modem than this new law. He said he hoped women would continue to protest until the order was reversed. 2004 wasHINGTON Post
