ahid Hussain Bokhari, Advocate:
1 understand about 10% of the Urdu language, 40 to 50% of Punjabi and
100% of English. My father was a Nuclear Physicist. My father was a
Professor of Physics at Virginia Tech University. He was also a member of
an organization called “Atoms for Peace”. We resided as family in Pakistan
for about a year when my father was working for the said organization ic.
“Atoms for Peace” and in such capacity he may have worked for the
Government of Pakistan but I don’t know for sure, My father permanently
left Pakistan in 1960 but he continued to visit Pakistan and for one year we
resided in Pakistan. In 1960 my father would have been 23 years old.
Please see article “Not All of Pakistan’s Nuclear Scientists were Rogues”.
Did you write this article?
Yes. [The
article is marked by the Secretary as Exhibit W4- 23.]
Have you always remained against Pakistan acquiring nuclear potential?
It is incorrect,
‘Your answer contradicts the article which you wrote?
It does not.
Please see paragraph 4 of the article, does it not contradict your answer?Q
T have never been against the acquisition of nuclear power for peaceful
purposes or for the defence of Pakistan as @ nation, The article | wrote on
February 11, 2004 was written shortly after Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan
admitted that he had sold nuclear technology and secrets of Pakistan to
other countries. The illegal sale of Pakistani nuclear technology for personal
benefit or for the benefit of rogue elements of the State of Pakistan was not
acceptable to me and that is what I wrote in the article. If my article is read
as a whole and not selectively. this would become clear. In the portion read
out to me I have used the word ‘allegedly”
Had you any evidence except the confession for leveling the acquisitions in
yout above referred article?

that Dr, Abdul Qadeer Khan did what 1 wrote and these articles can be
located on the Net.
