Dr. Abdul Quadeer Khan, who was born in Bhopal on April 1, 1936, which corresponds to the Hijri era 1355, Thursday 15th Rajab.
Education
After receiving his early education in Bhopal, Dr. Abdul Quadeer Khan obtained the degree of Bachelor of Science in 1960 from the University of Karachi. This was the beginning of the unfolding of his intellectual power.
Berlin, West Germany
Subsequently, he studied in Berlin, West Germany and achieved high
competence through attending several courses in metallurgical
engineering.
Delft technological university, Holland
He obtained the degree of Master of Science (Technology) in 1967 from Delft Technological University, Holland, and
University of Leuven, Belgium
He obtained Doctor of Engineering Degree in 1972
form the University of Leuven, Belgium. The restless soul of Dr. Abdul
Quadeer Khan took him to several laboratories in Europe including
Uranium Enrichment Plant in Holland.
Engineering Research Laboratories (ERL) Pakistan
It was the essence of his being sharpened by high scholastic
achievements in metallurgical and nuclear science that his will and
essence at all times remained directed towards the welfare of Pakistan.
In 1976, he joined the Engineering Research Laboratories (ERL) in Pakistan and set up an uranium enrichment industrial plant.
Dr. Abdul Quadeer Khan Research Laboratories (KRL)
As a tribute to his services for the security of Pakistan on May 1, 1981,
the then President of Pakistan, General Mohammed Zia-ul-Haq renamed the
Engineering Research Laboratories, Kahuta, as, Dr. Abdul Quadeer Khan
Research Laboratories (KRL). These laboratories were equipped from
nothing to something focusing on enrichment of Uranium for peaceful
application of nuclear technology. Over the years, the laboratories
became a focal point for a large number of scientists, engineers and
technologists which Dr. Abdul Quadeer Khan gathered around himself and
guided them to the tasks which have led to unparallel advances in
science and technology. This was done under very challenging and
difficult circumstances. It was only his courage, devotion,
determination and persistence, which earned success for him, his
colleagues and indeed for the nation.
Scientific contributions of Dr. Khan
- The scientific contributions of Dr. Khan have been recognized in several ways.
- An
active scientist and technologist, he has published more than 188
scientific research papers in international journals of high repute.
- An editor of a large number of books on metallurgy, advanced materials and phase transformation.
- His
academic and scholastic activities have attracted the attention of
number of western countries where he has delivered more than 100
lectures.
- His
work on Industrial Uranium Enrichment Plant for peaceful application of
nuclear technology has resulted in a breakthrough in the field of
metallurgy & materials science.
Enrichment of Uranium in Pakistan
It is entirely due to his efforts that the process of enrichment of
Uranium was successfully completed in Pakistan. This breakthrough
ultimately resulted in the historic explosion of six nuclear bombs on May 28 and May 30, 1998.
Not only this but a significant development was also made with the
successful test firing of Intermediate Range Ballistic Missiles,
- Ghauri I, on April 6, 1998
- Ghauri II on April 14, 1999.
Manmfacturing of sophisticated equipment
There are numerous contributions of Dr. Khan which have strengthened
the defence capability of Pakistan. Those, among others, include:
manufacturing of sophisticated equipment like Surface-to-Air
shoulder-fired anti-aircraft ANZA (MK-I & MK-II) and Baktar Shikan
anti tank guided missiles for the Armed Forces.
Supporter of Science and Technology education in Pakistan
Apart from his eminent contribution in the filed of Science and
Technology, Dr. Khan is an avid supporter of Science and Technology
education in Pakistan. As the Project Director of GIK Institute of
Science and Technology, he has invested his energies in developing the
Institute into an exemplary high technology institution.
He has contributed immensely to the establishment of educational and
research institutes in Pakistan. These include several colleges,
schools, Institutes and academies. So wide are the applications of his
activities that his contributions extend to the construction of 11
mosques, 1 tomb, a number of dispensaries and community health centers.
It is rare that a person in single life time accomplishes so much. This
is done only by men who are endowed with special abilities by God and
who prepare themselves through hard work and devotion to fulfill the
mission of serving mankind.
The list of his contribution and achievement is far too long to be
mentioned in this short citation. He is a person imbued with the spirit
of serving the cause of Pakistan and Muslim Ummah through his able
researches, high acumen, intellectual robustness and unwavering
devotion. So numerous are his activities that every segment of society
has praised him in different forms.

Abdul Qadeer Khan then established an administrative proliferation network through Dubai to smuggle URENCO nuclear technology to Khan Research Laboratories.[22][28][29][30][31] Abdul Qadeer Khan, partnered with Friedrich Tinner and Peter Finke, established a company to transfer URENCO technology to Pakistan, Libya, and Iran. However, the cover was blown by British MI-6, and Finke, along with unnamed ISI officer, defected to Pakistan while Tinner escaped to Libya.
On an interview given by Dr. G.D. Alam, a theoretical physicist who headed the enrichment programme, alongside with Abdul Qadeer Khan—made a confession acknowledging A.Q. Khan's nuclear proliferation work.[32] According to Dr. Ghulam Dastigar Alam, the URENCO Group had given Abdul Qadeer Khan the drawings of centrifuges for translation, and to find out the errors in the centrifuges designs that URENCO engineers were facing.[32] Abdul Qadeer Khan brought those drawings (blue prints) to Pakistan without notifying the URENCO Group and the Dutch government.[32] These drawings of centrifuge machine were incomplete.[33] Academic scientists, such as Dr. Tasnim Shah, Dr. G.D. Alam, Dr. Qadir Hussain, Dr. Anwar Ali, had developed new and powerful version of the centrifugal machine, and Abdul Qadeer Khan had nothing to do with it.[32][34] Even though it was Abdul Qadeer Khan's tasked to figure out the problems as URENCO Group had trusted him for the solution of the problems. As the problems were fixed, Abdul Qadeer Khan began the enrichment operations in KRL and a milestone was reached in 1978 with the enrichment project.[35] In 1981, Dr. G.D. Alam and other academic scientists were transferred back to PAEC as they had developed serious disagreements with Abdul Qadeer Khan over his nuclear proliferation activities.
In 1980, a foreign government from an unknown Arab country contacted Dr. A.Q. Khan.[32] Khan began his nuclear proliferation network and tried to include other scientists in his scheme, including Alam.[32] The scientists had declined to cooperate with Khan. Abdul Qadeer Khan then decided to begin his independent operations in other countries.[32] In his statement, Ghulam Dastigar Alam said, "To this day, Dr. A.Q. Khan knows nothing about nuclear science apart from the basics. He still lacks the knowledge to speak about technical issues involved in the development of nuclear technology."[32]
In 2004, Samar Mubarakmand, a nuclear physicist who supervised the Chagai tests, provided further details about A.Q. Khan's proliferation network in an interview with Hamid Mir's Capital Talk.[36] Mubarakmand acknowledged that the PAEC in IAEA first became aware of A.Q. Khan's network in 1980s, as PAEC was also a part of Libya and Iraq weapon's inspections.[36] When the Pakistani Government confronted Abdul Qadeer Khan, he simply denied the accusations.[36] Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan first visited Chagai on May 28. He arrived 15 minutes prior to the tests, Mubarakmand concluded.[36] He ended his interview by saying: It was PAEC, especially the Theoretical Physics Group (TPG), that designed and developed the weapons as well as the programme. Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan was only tasked with the enrichment project that he had taken over in 1976. If he knew how to build the designs of weapons, Iraq, Libya and Iran would have developed the weapons by now, Mubarakmand concluded.[36] |
