Role in Pakistan's Nuclear Capability in Brief
"Dr Khan played the key role in developing Pakistan's nuclear military capability, which culminated in successful tests in May 1998.

"Coming shortly after similar tests by India, Dr Khan's work helped seal Pakistan's place as the world's seventh nuclear power and sparked national jubilation.

"In March 2001 he was promoted to the inner circle of the country's military leadership as special science and technology adviser to President Pervez Musharraf.

"He was sacked from the position unceremoniously in January 2004 during the investigation.

"But revelations that he has passed on nuclear secrets to other countries have shocked and traumatised Pakistan." BBC, February 20, 2004.
